everyone.

Suggested Donation Prices
With the new update of the suggested donation please understand that these prices are a suggestion, NOT a requirement. Participants 60 years and
older that are registered under the nutrition program are not required to pay but are encouraged to donate. With the aging population growing every day it is extremely important that we are able to feed the aging population. The nutrition programs rely heavily on donations from participating seniors as well as everyone in the community.
Our Goal
Hardy County Committee on Aging’s goal is to feed every senior in the Hardy County area with the intention of everyone maintaining a level of independence so that they are able to stay and live in their homes for as long as possible. We strive to promote not only good nutrition through meals and education tools, but also a level of socialization. To make sure that everyone who comes here for a meal is fed and understands that we will help as much
as we can.
Our Mission
Our mission is to assist elderly persons of Hardy County in identifying and effectively developing their skills, potential abilities and personal resources so they may continue to live an independent, purposeful, safe and healthy lifestyle in their own home. This has been our goal since 1973, and we do not plan on stopping anytime soon. In order for our programs to continue we rely not only on state funding and donations in our community. We strive to ensure that the aging population maintains a level of independence, so they are able to stay in their own homes. One way that we are able to achieve this goal is by providing hot nutritious meals to seniors in Hardy County.
