Each meal provides one-third of the Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) served daily to seniors citizens, 60 years of age and over, and their spouses of any age.
Congregate meals are served Monday through Friday (excluding holidays), at 12:00 PM in a social environment at the Mariposa Senior Center. You can view the monthly lunch menu on the Senior Meals webpage.
Suggested meal contribution: $4 for Seniors and $6 for Guests and Non-Seniors
