The Cherokee Nation Elder Nutrition Program provides healthy, well-balanced meals to Native elders across the Cherokee Nation Reservation.
Meals are served in two ways: congregate meals, enjoyed together in a group setting that promotes social interaction, and home-delivered meals for elders who are homebound. 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.
