The Senior citizens Nutrition Program is designed to promote better health among Harding County's elderly citizens who are 60 years old and over and have the greatest economic need by providing nutritious noon meals each weekday, supplemented by nutrition education materials to encourage more healthful eating habits at home.  The Harding County Senior Program encourages seniors to attend the two meal sites located in Harding County which are in Mosquero and Roy.  Attendees benefit also in socialization to ease the isolation and loneliness that sometimes occurs with aging.  The program provides home-delivered meals to those seniors who are homebound or because of serious illness, cannot attend the centers.  Weekend and Holiday meals are also offered.

Program goals were met for the first time last fiscal year.  Monetary donation goals from seniors were also met.  As participation continues to be on the rise this only means good things for the seniors of Harding County.

Funding is made possible through the Older Americans Act, USDA, participant contributions and Harding County Board of County Commissioners.

The Harding county Senior Program has four employees.  Janet Benomo, Site Manager (18 years), Christine Trujillo, Program Coordinator (16 years), Virginia Smith, Homemaker (10 years) and Diane Covarrubias, cook (1 year).
