How does a home-cooked, hot meal every day of the week sound for either $5,

 or if you qualify, for free? 


The Community Meal Program at the Carpenter Center now serves lunch 11:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. Monday-Friday, with take home meals available on Fridays for weekend consumption.  The Community Meal Program, featuring cook Becky Reisig-Tower, is open to the public for dine-in and carry out service.  For $5.00, join us at the Center, 116 Terry Blvd, in Terrytown, or pay $6.00 for to-go meals. Plan ahead!  Meal reservations must be made no later that 9am the day prior to your chosen dining day by calling the Carpenter Center, 308/635-8422.  Weekend carry-out meals need to be reserved by no later than 9am on Thursdays.  Weekend meals are to-go only ($6/each) and need to be picked up on Friday between 11:30am and 12:30pm.  Our monthly menus are available on our website, www.Carpentercenter.net.


What about FREE meals?  Carpenter Center is an approved meal site for the Social Services for Aged and Disabled Adults (SSAD) program.  If you are age 60 or older, blind and/or disabled, you may qualify for services.  In order to be eligible for services through SSAD, an individual or married couple must meet certain qualifications, including resource and income tests.

 Lunch has never looked or tasted so good!
