The South Dakota Department of Human Services reminds the state’s elderly population assistance is available through the department’s nutrition program.
The nutrition program is targeted at adults age 60 and older who are in the greatest social and economic need. The Adult Nutrition program is authorized under Title III-C of the Older Americans Act, and there are no income guidelines for this program.
All meals are provided on a voluntary donation basis. Individuals may sign up for meals directly with a nutrition provider in your area.
The program provides access to healthy meals, which are an important part of maintaining overall health. Education and counseling about food safety and healthy eating is a part of the service provided.
