The Alisal Union School District provides congregate meals to seniors living in the Salinas area. Meal locations include the Firehouse Community Center on East Alisal Street and Sherwood Village’s CHISPA Senior Housing on North Main Street Meals at group dining locations are currently offered in accordance with safety protocols during the COVID-19 pandemic and practices may change as needed. The meals meet all the requirements of the Older Americans Act, State/local laws and dietary guidelines for older residents. Meals also follow the Nutrition Services Incentive Program (NSIP) requirements.
This amendment adds $21,334, to enhance existing services and is in alignment with the Older Americans Act and the goals of the Monterey County Area Agency on Aging. This increase in the contract total is due to an increase in federal and state funding through the California Department of Aging.
