Hot Meals for Lake County Seniors
The Mentor Senior Center is offering curbside pickup for a “made-from-scratch” daily special. The cost is $4.50 per meal. However, the Lake County Senior Services levy will subsidize $2 per meal for seniors. Therefore, the cost for seniors is $2.50 per meal. Reservations for lunch must be made at least 24 business hours prior, however we expect to sell out quickly. We suggest registering for a week at a time. Learn more.
