We work with the congregate meal sites throughout the City and County and are implementing at those eligible sites who show interest in having more nutrition education for their participants.
I concur with Eileen’s statement and look forward to working with the Concord Senior Center.
We currently teach Food Smarts and have a garden PSE (both outdoor and hydroponic indoor!) at a mental health drop in center. They serve a lunch each day and through informal assessments and conversations with staff have already heard that they are interested in support with planning healthier meals. We already have a good working relationship and trust build with staff and clients at this site and are looking forward to adding Wiser Dining to our work with them.
- As a member of our AAA team at the Center for Healthy Communities, we have many relationships with congregate meal sites throughout PSA 2 and 3. I love some of the activity suggestions in Wiser Dining! I think my favorite is the idea of “dressing up” congregate meal sites with linens and centerpieces. This would be a great addition during nutrition lessons, even if the full Wiser Dining program isn’t being implemented at a site.
We do have some existing relationships with multiple congregate meal sites where we are providing Direct Education. I think we could easily implement Wiser Dining at these sites- especially since we are already doing some of the work! Excited to learn more and see how this can grow.
Our agency works with multiple congregate meal sites throughout Riverside County. We current provide Direct and Indirect Education Activities. We are looking to adopt a PSE change that would support the great work happening at our congregate meal sites. We are excited to learn about all the potential activities we can do with Wiser Dining!
Our cafes will often have special event lunches. These have fun activities like raffles or
a gingerbread house making contest.
We have strong relationships with congregate meal sites and are currently providing Direct Education and Indirect Education. I think Wiser Dining would provide a perfect opportunity to expand the work we are already doing. Looking forward to learning more!
