Other Ways To Get Involved

There are many ways to support the Community Nutrition Network & Senior Services Association. We welcome donations from individuals, foundations, organizations, and businesses. The Community Nutrition Network & Senior Services Association is a not-for-profit 501 (c)(3) corporation. All donations are tax-deductible in accordance with IRS regulations.

Last year, the Community Nutrition Network & Senior Services Association provided funding for weekend meals, meals for emergencies, and meals delivered to older adults who do not have transportation to a Community Cafe dining site. None of these meals would have been possible without the support of our generous donors.
