What is Age Well?

Age Well offers a variety of food delivery and meal services for older adults in northwestern Vermont, including home-delivered meals from Meals on Wheels as well as meals in a group setting. Designed to be nutritionally complete, our congregate community meals provide opportunities for socializing in addition to a delicious meal.

Meals are created to meet the dietary and food safety guidelines required by the Older Americans Act. A typical meal consists of 2-3 ounces of protein, complex carbohydrate (such as sweet potato, rice or pasta), one and a half cups of fruit or vegetables, a grain (preferably whole grain), milk and dessert (often includes fruit). Salt is not added to foods during cooking, though in some foods it may naturally occur.

Community Meals

Age Well hosts community meals at over 70 locations. Programs vary from small rural gatherings, to senior centers, local parks, to an ever-growing array of restaurants.

Highgate Library and Community Center is a proud supporter of Age Well’s Grab and Go Meal program. We offer meal pick up every Thursday from 11:00 AM -1 PM. Registration is required, and spaces are limited. Advanced registration is necessary for each community meal or event. Completion of annual registration form is required. All event ticket donations are non-transferrable and non-refundable. Suggested donation of $5 is recommended.
