Free Frozen Meals for Crow Wing County Seniors available January 16th

Free frozen meals for Crow Wing County seniors 60 and older will be given out in the parking lot of Salem Lutheran Church on Monday, Jan. 16, from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m. The church is located at 21276 Archibald Road in Deerwood. The meals are distributed by Catholic Charities of the Diocese of St. Cloud’s Senior Dining program.  

This is a drive-through, no-contact distribution. Seniors will receive pre-packaged bags of 10 frozen meals. Each senior may receive up to 30 meals in a month. The meals meet one third of the recommended daily dietary allowance for seniors. They are packaged in microwave and oven safe containers. The meals are free but  contributions are gratefully accepted.

The program is partially funded under a contract with the Central Minnesota Council on Aging as part of the Older Americans Act and administered by Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Saint Cloud.  For more information, contact CRMC Social Worker Kari Lee Pietz at 218-545-5361.
