ICAP’s 60’s Plus Dining is an adult meal program serving quality nutritious meals to any person aged 60 or over, and their spouses. There is no income, or health guidelines to participate. Our goal is to prevent malnutrition, and isolation, which are major causes of health problems for our aging society. 60’s Plus Dining began serving meals in 1973, and currently has over 3,000 clients throughout 10 counties in east-central South Dakota. There are 4 main options for meals, Congregate, Star Card, Home Delivered, and Frozen Meals.

Congregate meals are offered for lunch Monday through Friday, at senior centers, cafés, and apartment complexes throughout our service area. A variety of balanced meals, mostly comfort foods, are served in a group setting to provide quality nutrition, and socialization.

Home Delivered hot meals are provided Monday through Friday to clients who are unable to travel to, or meet at, our congregate or star card locations. A visit from one of our volunteers, offering a hot nutritious meal, often is the only social contact that many of our homebound clients receive each day, helping ease the problem of isolation.

Five Pack Frozen Meals are the perfect solution for both seniors on the go, as well as for those South Dakota seniors that live in isolation, or in areas that do not have even the basic food options. Many rural areas are considered food deserts. Without access to healthy foods, people living in these areas may be at higher risk of diet-related conditions, including malnutrition. Frozen meals have been a great tool to reach seniors in our rural food desert areas, where services were discontinued years ago.

We’re looking for reliable and compassionate volunteers to serve as Meal Transport Volunteers for our Center for Families. This role involves picking up the prepared lunch meal from the Bishop Dudley Hospitality House (downtown location) and delivering it to our Center for Families around 3:00 PM each weekday but Tuesday. Though it's lunch, the meal is served as dinner at our center.

Duties Include:

Requirements:

This role is perfect for someone who has a short window of time but wants to make a meaningful impact. By delivering the evening meal, you’re directly supporting families experiencing homelessness with nourishment and dignity.
