Our History

Since 1978, Senior Connect has been providing hot meals daily to senior adults in our community.

Senior Connect delivers meals to seniors who, for a variety of reasons, may be unable to meet their own nutritional needs.  The agency also provides meals in a congregate setting at four Senior Centers and 4 nutrition sites throughout Kaufman County.  Designed by a Registered Dietitian, each delivery consists of a hot, ready-to-eat meal.  

The meals offered by Senior Connect are partially reimbursable through federal and state funding, specifically the Older Americans’ Act Title IIIC and Texans Feeding Texans grant awards.  Participants are invited to make a financial donation for the meal, which is important in maintaining the dignity and self-pride of the participant; however, it is not required. 

To receive a home delivered meal, a case worker conducts an in-home assessment with the homebound senior.  Each impairment in activities of daily living and instrumental activities of daily living are quantified. Based on the State’s assessment form determining physical condition and need, these clients may become a part of a daily delivery route within days of in-home assessment.
