Enjoy Healthy, Affordable Lunch with Friends
Let someone else do the cooking. Senior community cafés offer a healthy, low-cost lunch for seniors and the opportunity to join with others in the community! Cafés are available in Middlesex, Hartford, and Tolland counties in pleasant settings with great food. We offer kosher meals in West Hartford. Most cafés are located in senior housing complexes, senior centers, or community centers. Seniors socialize and become members of the community. Days and times vary by site.
A donation of $3.00 per meal is suggested to help cover costs. However, no one is denied a meal if unable to donate.
CRT’s Elderly Nutrition Program is supported by the North Central Area Agency on Aging and Senior Resources Area Agency on Aging with Title IIIC funds made available under the Older Americans Act.
To Apply
Participants must be 60 years of age or older. Spouses are welcome when joined by senior participants. Disabled persons under the age of 60 who live in the housing facility where lunches are offered are eligible. A registration form must be completed prior to receiving a meal and updated yearly.
Make a reservation one day in advance by calling the café between 10 am – 1 pm on weekdays. For example, to eat lunch on Tuesday, reserve your seat on Monday. You can also sign up at the site for future dates.

“I’ve been part of the CRT program for 20 years. The food is very good and the portions help me to keep my diabetes under control. I also like the fact that I can continue being independent and I don’t need to call my sons when I need food”
