At Congregate Meals in Ottumwa, IA, we create a welcoming environment where individuals aged 60 and older can enjoy delicious and nutritious lunches while socializing with others in their community. Our meal sites not only serve hot meals but also provide enriching activities such as bingo, games, and live entertainment, alongside educational speakers and wellness resources. We are committed to promoting health and wellness, offering monthly nutrition information, food sampling, and exercise opportunities to keep our participants active and informed. We believe that everyone deserves access to nourishing meals, which is why we operate on a contribution basis with a suggested donation of $5.00, ensuring that no one is denied a meal due to financial constraints. For those under 60 or unwilling to register, meals are available for $10.85. To partake in this vibrant community, we ask that participants make annual registrations and meal reservations at least 1-2 days in advance. Join us for meals typically served between 11:30 a.m. and 12:00 p.m. as we uplift and support our senior neighbors.
