Nutrition Services

Human Services contracts with Presbyterian Homes/Creative Independence to provide a noon meal program offered weekdays at the City Diner located in Creekside Community Center.

In addition to noon dining, Human Services also offers two food resource programs operated by citizen volunteers. The Buyer's Club is a small store selling dry pasta, nuts, staples and fresh produce. Fare for All food buying program allows participants to save 30 – 40% on fresh produce, frozen meats, and other basic groceries.
