SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
R.E. Jornlin, Director, Social Service Department recommends that the
Board of Supervisors officially recognize the tenth anniversary of operation of
the Nutrition Project for the Elderly.
On April 18, 1984 the County's Nutrition Project for the Elderly
observes its tenth anniversary of operation. At the present time, it serves
approximately 1,095 meals daily, Monday through Friday, at 26 congregate
meal sites throughout the county. The project council made up of representatives
from each of the sites works with project staff to make the project responsive
to the particular needs of Contra Costa County's seniors.
The project is one of nine social service and nutrition programs funded
by the County Office on Aging with Older Americans Act funds. $648,000 in federal
Older American Act funds comprising 47% of the total Title III Older Americans
Act dollars expended by the County Area Agency on Aging are currently allotted to
the congregate meal program.
The Public Health Division of the Health Services Department, as the
operator of the program, should be commended for the support given the program
which their staff operates under the terms of an interdepartmental agreement
with the Social Service Department/Office on Aging.
In addition, several other organizations are responsible under contract
to the County for individual dining site operations. These organizations are
Home Health and Counseling, Inc. , Housing Authority of the County of Contra Costa,
Pleasant Hill Park and Recreation District, City of Richmond Department of Parks
and Recreation, City of San Pablo Department of Community Services, and United
Council of Spanish Speaking Organizations, Inc. Also, meals are catered under
a contract by Contra Costa Food Inc.
