Weber Human Services plays a vital role in supporting seniors within Weber and Morgan counties, particularly through its comprehensive nutrition programs. During the unprecedented challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, these essential services adapted to ensure continued support for the senior community. While senior centers had to temporarily adjust their operations, Weber Human Services remained committed to providing nutritious meals to older adults.
Initially, in response to pandemic restrictions, all senior centers in Weber-Morgan suspended regular congregate meal services. Weber Human Services quickly implemented a “Pickup-to-Go” boxed lunch system at seven senior centers. This innovative approach allowed seniors aged 60 and older to safely access meals during regular lunch hours by reserving and picking up pre-packed lunches for a suggested donation. This ensured that seniors continued to receive vital nutritional support even when gathering in groups was not possible.
As of March 14, 2022, Weber Human Services was pleased to announce the resumption of congregate meals at all senior centers. The “Pickup-to-Go” meal service concluded on March 11, 2022, marking a return to in-person dining for seniors. This transition back to congregate meals signifies a step towards normalcy and the re-establishment of important social connections for seniors within these community hubs.
Weber Human Services’ dedication to expanding meal services during the pandemic is noteworthy. For more information on their achievements in increasing Meals-on-Wheels and Pickup Meals during this period, please refer to this document: MoWs Achievement.
