Senior Meals

All senior, multigenerational and 50+ Fitness Centers are closed. Breakfast will temporarily not be served, however, to-go lunches are still available for pick up at five locations listed below Monday through Friday. Masks are required for meal pick up. If you don't have a mask, call 505-764-6400.

Please note that home delivered meals will continue to operate as normal for homebound seniors who have physical, emotional or other limitations that do not allow them to leave their homes on their own. If you, or someone you know, fits this description, call the Senior Information & Assistance Hotline at (505) 764-6400.

The following centers are temporarily serving to-go senior lunches. These lunches are distributed between 11:30 am to 1:00 pm in a drive-through style. Please call the Center you’d like to visit to pick up your lunch the day before to make a reservations (this is not required but it does help us eliminate waste).

There is no charge for pick-up lunches but we do accept online donations.
