Nutritious Meals
The CSC is an Erie County Nutrition Program Dining Site open to Erie County residents 60 or older and their spouses. We offer lunches Monday through Friday as part of our Stay Fit Dining Program, as well as dinner Tuesdays and Thursdays. Meals are prepared by a nutrition coordinator and sent to the center where they are prepared by our kitchen staff and volunteers.
Meals are well-balanced, healthy, and nutritious, with consideration being given to those who have special dietary needs. Meals are ordered in advance and supplied by the Erie County Congregate Dining Program.
Special luncheons with entertainment are also held throughout the year!
Reservations are required at least 48 hours in advance and can be made by calling 716-633-5138 or by stopping in the office. If you have a reservation and can’t make it, please let us know. The suggested contribution for meals is $3.
Frozen Meals to Eat at Home
The Erie County Stay Fit Dining Program is pleased to offer 3 or 5 pack frozen meals at the Clarence Senior Center. These are frozen meals provided through the Frozen Congregate Meal Program. Milk and dessert are included with each meal.
A contribution of $3 per meal ($9 per 3-pack, $15 per 5-pack) is suggested, but any amount is appreciated and goes towards the improvement of the meals. Your contribution will be collected when you pick up your meals.
Reservations must be called in to our office at 716-633-5138 by 11:00 AM on the Wednesday of each week preceding the week of pick up. Meals are available for pick up each Monday (except holidays) and can be delivered if requested (Clarence locations only).
The 3 meal and 5 meal per week options come as a clearly labeled “meal pack” with reheating directions. Entree items include selections such as meatballs and gravy, pulled pork, chicken breasts, chicken tenders, and various other healthy and delicious meals that have been tested and freeze well.
This program is available to all seniors of Erie County.
