📣 ATTENTION HILL CITY PATRONS! 📣 (please read whole post)

We have heard your enthusiasm about bringing congregate meals back to the Hill City Nutrition Site, and we hear you!

We are proud to announce that we have a NEW manager at our Hill City Nutrition Site, Phil, and we will be reopening for CONGREGATE DINING on TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 8TH! 🎉 The meal that day will be Shepard's Pie, Scandinavian vegetables, dinner roll, and mixed fruit.

Please call 785-421-2246 and speak with Phil to reserve your meal for Tuesday September 8th!

A Few Things to Know About Congregate Dining:

🎉Lunch is served at 11:30 AM sharp.
🎉Individuals 60 years of age or older are welcome to participate with a suggested contribution of $4 per meal.
🎉Individuals under 60 are welcome, but the full cost of the meal, $7, must be paid at the time the meal is received.
🎉Our nutrition site is located at 700 W. Main St. inside the Community Involvement Center.
🎉Our hours are 9:00 AM–1:00 PM.

Come in during the morning to drink coffee, visit with friends, play cards, or work on a puzzle. Stay for lunch at 11:30 AM, and you're welcome to continue enjoying leisure activities with us until 1:00 PM. Daily meal reservations are required so we can make sure our wonderful cook knows how much food he needs to prepare for everyone. Please make your reservation with Phil or Paul by 10:00 AM the day BEFORE the meal you plan to attend.

HOMESTEAD Nutrition Project, our manager Phil and our cook Paul are all VERY excited to be able to offer congregate dining again to our Hill City community! 🥳

So, come on down to the center, bring your friends, enjoy a meal, and spend some time together! We can't wait to see you! 🍽️☕
