Meals at Bay Ridge Center - May 2024 Menu
Here at the Center, we have a spacious dining room; we offer a hot meal Monday - Friday
at 12 pm. The nutritious meal consists of a protein (such as meat, beans, or dairy), a whole grain (such as wheat bread, whole wheat pasta or brown rice), a vegetable, a fruit, a juice, and milk. The members really come together as a family and enjoy a meal together and socialize over their meal.

Bay Ridge Center's home delivered meal program
For millions of Americans, Meals on Wheels is literally the difference between remaining in their own homes and needing to relocate to a nursing facility. The nutritious meal, friendly visit and safety check help them cope with three of the biggest threats of aging: hunger, isolation and loss of independence. Research proves that when seniors have the right support, they gain greater quality of life, need fewer hospital stays and live longer.
Bay Ridge Center is proud to offer Meals on Wheels services to our community. Please contact Catholic Charities directly at 718-680-3530 in order to initiate Meals on Wheels service.
