C1 Nutrition Program: Congregate Meals

Lunch is served at the Senior Center Monday through Friday and on Sunday from 11:30am to 12:30pm.

The Suggested Donation for a meal is $4.00 for Registered Seniors.
A Guest Meal costs $8.00, and for a child age 12 and under a meal costs $4.00. All ages are welcome to join us!

Registered Seniors are those age 60+ (and their accompanying spouse of any age) who have an AGNES Form filled out (front and back) and on file with the Shoshoni Senior Center within the last year. For this reason, you must renew your registration each year. For example, if you register on 1/17/2024, you will be asked to renew the paperwork on 1/1/2025 or whenever you first visit us after that date.

We try very hard to have enough food for everyone each day. Because our daily meal count varies, sometimes we do run out of food when more people come to eat than the cooks anticipated. We operate on a first-come-first-served basis, but we prioritize seniors 60+ over guests and staff when remaining meals are limited. Making a reservation is not required, but especially if you are coming with a group, it can help us out if you let us know you will be coming.

Takeout Meals are in to-go packaging for pickup at the Senior Center by the registered recipient of the meal. You must request a Takeout Meal in advance by calling us by 9:00 AM. These meals are put together before serving time. Takeout meals first became an offered service when congregate meals were not an option during the pandemic. Not all senior centers continue to provide this service because of the rising costs of packaging and the additional strain on limited staff, so please help us to be able to continue offering this service by understanding and abiding by our policy that Takeout Meals must be requested meals by 9:00 AM.

Frozen Meals are available to purchase for $2 each or three for $5. Frozen meals can be purchased from leftovers of previous meals, but not the current day’s meal. Availability depends on how much is leftover each day, so check our menu and look through the freezer in the dining room to see what is available. Frozen meals are available on a first-come-first-served basis as they are placed in the freezer, and we will not hold them for you to pickup later.

• Purchase at least six frozen meals to receive a FREE Shoshoni Senior Center branded and insulated tote. These work great for carrying our frozen meals. Limit of one free bag per person.

Home Delivered Meals are available for homebound seniors who live within five miles of Shoshoni. There is an additional page of the AGNES Form that must be filled out each year to evaluate need and qualify for this program.

• We can also provide home delivered meals through the Medicaid Community Choices Waiver program. Check with your Medicaid Case Manager to see if you are eligible. We receive these Service Requests through your case manager.

Sign in with MySeniorCenter for Meals and Other Services

Registered patrons will receive a MySeniorCenter keycard. We use the MySeniorCenter system for everyone to sign in for what they are participating in at the Senior Center, which saves office staff a lot of time every month and improves the accuracy of our reports, which support our funding.

When you enter the Senior Center, there is a touchscreen on the front counter with a scanner next to it. The sign in process is simple, and we are here to help you if needed.

• Swipe the barcode on the back of your keycard in front of the scanner.
• You should see your first name at the top left of the touchscreen.
• Select everything that you will be participating in for the day.
• Make sure to select the Finish bottom at the bottom of the screen.

If you need to change your selections, you can swipe your keycard again.

If there is an error message, it is because your registration has expired or we need to connect your keycard number to a profile in our database. AGNES Forms are available on the front counter, and office staff are here to assist you.

If you have a MySeniorCenter keycard issued by another senior center, you can use it at the Shoshoni Senior Center too, after we connect your keycard’s number with your profile in our system. For privacy reasons, senior centers do not have access to each other’s MySeniorCenter databases.

Meal Tickets for the Nutrition Programs

Yellow Meal Tickets for our nutrition programs are available to purchase in packs of five for $20.00. Since many of the yellow tickets have seen better days, we are planning to refresh them sometime soon with new tickets! We will continue to accept the yellow tickets.

More Information about Menu and Nutrition Programs

We accept cash or check, however we cannot process card payments at this time. There is a gray box for meal donations on the front counter, and office staff or a volunteer are available if you need change, want to buy meal tickets, or need help signing in with the MySeniorCenter system.

A registered dietician approves our menus. She also provides quarterly Nutrition Education handouts, and remote Nutrition Counseling is available upon request.

If you have any questions about our menu and nutrition services, please call the Senior Center. Additionally, you can check our monthly Newsletter to see what else is going on at the Senior Center.
