Serving Neighborly Care Network – June 9, 1974
That same year, GA Foods began service as the nutrition services provider for our first customer (who is still a customer today!) For 45 years, we have grown and evolved with the elder services providers who are a critical backbone of support for the seniors in our communities.
Congregate nutrition services sometimes referred to as C1 meals, grew from the goal of providing healthy and nutritious meals to seniors…and a place designed for fellowship and social connection. Senior centers across the country have played a vital role in helping seniors maintain mental and physical health through their hard work and targeted programs. We are proud to have supported their mission since 1973.
From our multiple congregate kitchens, we prepare and deliver hot meals to senior centers located within a delivery radius that can ensure hold times that protect the high quality and safety of our meals. Outside those areas, we offer our innovative SimpleCook® system.
The flexibility of our modular SimpleCook® system allows home and community-based service providers the ability to customize meal programs to best fit their needs. Service options can be “mixed and matched” to create the optimal combination for each situation. SimpleCook® works with our SunMeadow® meals that are designed specifically for seniors’ nutritional needs and taste preferences.
