- Meals on Wheels Programs & Services of Rockland operates six Senior Centers strategically located throughout Rockland County. The Senior Centers offer a "home away from home" for hundred of participants who enjoy the camaraderie of their peers and stimulating activities. Centers are located in Nanuet, Garnerville, Nyack, Pearl River, Spring Valley and Sparkill. (Street addresses and phone numbers appear below.)
- Good times and fun are the main ingredients in a successful and lively event calendar which includes activities such as exercise, book discussion groups, needle arts, Tai Chi, poetry writing, cards, shopping trips, trips to dinner theatres, restaurants, and, of course, Bingo. Special events include a fall picnic in which all six Senior Centers participate, a Spring Fling dance as well as many other activities throughout the year.
- A program called "Alert and Alive" sponsored by the Office for the Aging is offered to participants three times a year. The program, run in nine week sessions, features speakers who discuss topics related to health such as Keeping Your Mind Active, Stress Relief, Eating Healthy, and Therapeutic Poetry. The program is in its ninth year and is very popular with participants.
- Any Rockland County resident 60 years of age or older is eligible to participate.
- Senior Centers are open Monday through Friday generally from 9AM-3PM. Centers are closed on holidays and days when weather is inclement, such as "snow days."
- Door to door transportation is provided.
- A hot lunch prepared by our commissary is served daily. Special needs such as Kosher or low cholesterol meals can be accommodated.
- The Senior Center program is partially funded under the Older Americans Act with local matching funds provided by the County, various towns and villages and participant donations.
- A donation of $3.50 per day is suggested for participants who eat lunch at the Center but there is no "fee" to participate. No one will be denied access to the program due to economic limitations.
