MotorMeals- Senior Meals on the Move

Gateway Area Development District (GADD) has launched a mobile meal distribution site program, MotorMeals. GADD, who operates the senior centers in Bath, Menifee, Montgomery, Morgan, and Rowan Counties, will canvas the region targeting populated areas, communities, and housing developments to provide seniors with a hot nutritionally-qualified meal.

The MotorMeals food truck will be set up at various locations within the region each week from 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM, excluding holidays and inclement weather days. The program is already underway, and a complete schedule can be obtained by contacting your local senior center, visiting www.gwadd.org, or by following GADD on its Facebook and Twitter social media platforms.

The MotorMeals program, made possible by financial assistance from the Kentucky Department for Aging and Independent Living (DAIL), via Expanded Senior Meal Program (ESMP) funding authorized by Governor Andy Beshear and the Kentucky General Assembly, will serve those 60 years of age and older across GADD’s five-county service region. Services provided through the MotorMeals program will include meal and nutrition services, information and assistance, and outreach resources.

To participate in the program, individuals must be enrolled, or enroll, in a GADD senior center program. Signing up is quick and easy, and can be completed over the phone by contacting your local senior center. Individuals will be limited to one (1) meal per person each serving day, and meals will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis; individuals must be present to receive a meal. The meals are provided at no cost; however, a $1.00 donation is suggested.

For more information on the MotorMeals program, eligibility requirements, or other services offered through GADD’s Area Agency on Aging and Independent Living, please contact your local senior center site or GADD’s Aging and Disability Resource Center at 855.882.5307.
