Senior Meal Resources

As a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, senior citizens have become the most vulnerable population. As many senior centers and other facilities close or drastically change procedures to distribute food, the following resources are serving our seniors across the nation.

Our team at Caravan Studios is continuously compiling meal resources for seniors as they become available. We welcome your input if you are aware of sites that are not yet listed, below. Please create an account and add sites directly to this page.
