NEW!! ROC/PRCC Seniors Lunch to Go Program
We are pleased to announce that we are launching covid-friendly meal support for seniors in the Prospect Communities!
Thanks to funding from the Canadian Red Cross, the ROC is now offering a Seniors Lunch to Go program!
Meals are homemade but will be cold upon pickup. They will require reheating to a minimum internal temperature of 165, before consuming.
Menus will be released approximately one week ahead of each pick-up date.
This funding will support 6 free, weekly meals for seniors in our area on the following dates:
- Thursday, January 14th, 2021
- Tuesday, January 19th, 2021
- Tuesday, January 26th, 2021
- Tuesday, February 2nd, 2021
- Tuesday, February 9th, 2021
- Tuesday, February 16th, 2021
How to Participate:
- Reserve your meal by calling (902)852-4968 (leave a voice mail if needed & someone will return your call)
- Reservations will close Friday at noon for the following Tuesday pick-up date (with the exception of Thursday, January 14th, for which reservations will close Wednesday, January 13th at 10 am).
- Indicate if you require a gluten-free or regular meal
- Pick up your meal on the specified date, curbside, at the PRCC at 11am
- Reservations are open for all dates at this time & seniors are able to reserve a meal for all available pick-up dates.
