Congregate Meals
Lunch is served at the Senior Center Monday through Friday from 11:30am to 12:30pm. No reservations are required. Our daily meal count can vary widely, so it does help us to have enough food prepared if you let us know you are coming, especially with a group. The Suggested Donation for a meal is $4.00 for Registered Seniors age 60+. Registration must be renewed each year by filling out the first two pages of the AGNES Registration Form. For your convenience, Meal Tickets are available to purchase in packs of five for $20.00. We can accept payments by cash, check, or card.
You will receive a MySeniorCenter keycard to sign in at the front counter for meals and everything else you do at the Senior Center. There is a gray box on the front counter for meal donations, and office staff or a volunteer are available if you need change, need help signing in, or would like to purchase a guest meal, meal tickets, or frozen meals. If you have a MySeniorCenter keycard from another senior center, you can use it at Shoshoni too after we connect it to your profile in our database.
All ages are welcome to join us, and a Guest Meal costs $8.00. Seniors age 60+ always have priority for available meals over guests and staff.
Takeout Meals
Takeout Meals are in to-go packaging for pickup at the Senior Center, by the registered senior recipient of the meal. You must call to request a Takeout Meal by 9:00 AM. These meals are put together before serving time.
Home Delivered Meals
Home Delivered Meals are available for seniors who qualify. Generally, this is someone who would have difficulty coming to the Senior Center for a meal and lives within five miles of Shoshoni. The first three pages of the AGNES Registration Form that must be filled out each year to evaluate need and qualify for this program. These meals are usually delivered around 11am by volunteers. We also provide home delivered meals through the Medicaid Community Choices Waiver program. We receive these Service Requests through your Medicaid Case Manager.
Frozen Meals
Frozen Meals are available to purchase for $2 each or three for $5. They are available on a first-come basis as they are placed in the freezer in the dining room, and we will not hold them for you. We limit frozen meal purchases to 9 frozen meals per week to help ensure that there will be enough for everyone who wants them.
Leftovers
You may take home your own uneaten food from the Senior Center at your own risk. Please consume within two hours, or refrigerate immediately and consume within three days from the day the meal was served. You are encouraged to bring your own containers, but small boxes or baggies are sometimes available at the Senior Center. Our to-go packaging cannot be used for this purpose.

We apply for federal and state funding (with a required percentage of local “match” funding) through these programs and are awarded up to a certain amount to be reimbursed for program expenses each fiscal year, which we can utilize only after the Program Income is spent first. Program income is the the voluntary contributions or “suggested donation” from the program recipients.
