Volunteer: 60's Plus Dining

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.
