The Cherokee Nation Elder Nutrition Program provides healthy, well-balanced meals to Native elders across the Cherokee Nation Reservation.

The goal of the Elder Nutrition Site is to provide meals in a congregate setting, encouraging participants to enjoy their meals together while promoting social interaction and a sense of community. For individuals who are homebound and unable to attend in person, meals may be ordered and picked up by a designated individual with the appropriate physician’s note. Through these services, the Elder Nutrition Program supports the overall health, independence, and well-being of our elders while strengthening community connections and honoring Cherokee traditions of caring for one another.

Although it is not a requirement for Elder Nutrition Services, we kindly ask that you RSVP to the site or cook whenever possible, as this helps us adequately prepare meals for the day.
