The Nutrition Program - Overview of Program

A very successful collaboration between Mature Services and the Akron Metropolitan Housing Authority (AMHA) makes it possible for nutritious, low-cost lunches to be prepared at the Marian T. Hall Community Center in Akron and served at seven other congretate sites in Summit County.

In 2004/2005, the Nutrition Program prepared 40,855 meals and served them to older adults at Marian Hall as well as to residents of Lauer, Sutliff, Mayflower Manor and Saferstein Towers, Hillwood I, White Pond Villa and the Retirement Center of Green. Meals are provided regardless of the recipient's ability to pay. Marian Hall's Older Adult Program presents community programs and events and encourages the older adults who visit the center to become involved in community outreach activities and intergenerational programs in the Edgewood Community.

The Marian T. Hall Community Center also hosts other socialization activities for older adults including educational presentations, ceramics and sewing classes, music, singing, crafts, neighborhood yard sales, shopping trips and more throughout the year.
