Does making a hot lunch for yourself hardly seem worth the effort? Are you interested in meeting other seniors and taking part in some fun activities? Why not join us for the LunchPlus Program? Activities start at 9:30 AM and end at noon, including a hot, nutritious lunch.
Age is the only criteria for residents to take part. You must be at least 60. For couples, both qualify as long as one partner is at least 60 years old. Transportation may be available, depending on where you live in the county.
Enrollment is required, but it’s fast and easy: Simply call (828) 884-2255. We do accept donations. We are glad to have you join us for a meal regardless of your ability to make a contribution. LunchPlus offers more than just a delicious meal. The Plus in our name is all about helping seniors stay active and fit.
Activities vary monthly, but leisure-time programs include:
Funding is provided by the Home and Community Care Block Grant, Pisgah Health Foundation, and local donations.
This program serves a mid-day meal five days a week to homebound older adults in the upper end of Transylvania County. The meals are prepared by Transylvania Regional Hospital and transported to the Quebec Congregate Meal Site for delivery to eligible participants. The meals meet one-third of the nutritional RDA for senior citizens. Friendly volunteers deliver meals right to the door. Funding is provided by the Home and Community Care Block Grant, Pisgah Health Foundation, Cathey’s Creek Baptist Church, and local donations.
Ensure/Glucerna liquid nutritional supplement products are available at little or no cost to Transylvania County residents with documented medical risks. A needs statement from a healthcare professional is required. Funding is generously provided by Lake Toxaway Charities, Pisgah Health Foundation, Home and Community Care Block Grant, and other local donations.
Additional funding from the Pisgah Health Foundation enables WNCSource to provide shelf-stable meal boxes containing a 7-day supply of easy-to-prepare meals that offer additional nutrition for seniors. Our new Hygiene Products program offers adult diapers, soap, lotions and other personal care supplies.
