Friendly Fork (Senior Lunch Program)

The Senior Lunch Program, also called the Friendly Fork, serves tasty, healthy lunches for older adults at 22 locations across Weld County. Many meal sites also offer activities before or after lunch to give you a chance to connect with others and enjoy social time.

There is no cost for the meals, and no one is denied a meal if they cannot contribute. A suggested donation is requested to help support and supplement the cost of the program, which is posted at all the locations. 

Each meal provides about one-third of the nutrients you need for the day.

Who can dine with us?

  • Anyone 60 years or older
  • The spouse of someone who is 60 or older
  • People under 60 who live in low-income housing that serves as a meal site

Guests are welcome, but they will be asked to pay a guest fee.
