What
is the "YOUR CHOICE" program? The "YOUR CHOICE" program is a
senior meal program offering adults age 60 and over, their spouse and/or
dependent adult living with them, a hot nutritious meal for a donation.
You choose when you eat, up to five-meals a week, breakfast, lunch, or
dinner. "YOUR CHOICE" meals are now being offered at the East 10th
Street Hy-Vee.
Nutrition is key! All meals
provide a dietitian-approved choice of offerings from the five-food
groups identified by the "program" label in the various ready-to-eat
food cases.

available through The Center For Active Generations. Participants are

Have you completed your National
Aging Program Information System (NAPIS) form?
Your meal is sponsored in part by the
National Senior Nutrition Project. We can offer your meals for a donation
because the State of South Dakota and the Federal Government reimburse us
for part of the cost. If you are 60 or over and wish to dine, for a
donation, the Federal Government requires that we have a NAPIS form filled
out by you and returned to us one time per year. Your information is
confidential. If you do not have a NAPIS form on file with us, we have no choice but to charge you the full cost of the meal, which
is $6.00 If you have not yet completed your NAPIS form for 2008, please
contact our Nutrition cashiers, Susanne, Priscilla, or Rhonda for the NAPIS forms and assistance. Thank you for your cooperation.
