Semcac Senior Dining is a program that provides nutritious meals to individuals aged 60 and over in 11 counties in Southeast Minnesota. Spouses are automatically included, regardless of age, and the program is open to all older people regardless of race, color, sex, religion, disability, or national origin. Meals are provided at various dining sites, and diners have the opportunity to donate towards the cost of the meal, although no one is denied a meal due to inability to contribute.
The program receives federal and state funding through a contract with the Southeastern Minnesota Area Agency on Aging, and local contributions from counties, cities, United Way agencies, and individual donations are crucial for its continuation. Semcac Senior Dining meals are nutritionally balanced and provide one-third of the Recommended Daily Allowance, and the menu is subject to alterations. Reservations must be made 24 hours in advance, and the program also offers assistance with applying for SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program).
