The mission of Linn County
Mid-America Nutrition Program is to assist our senior
citizens by providing or locating alternative resources to promote physical health and well being. Our aim is to
enable our senior citizens to maintain independence. A well balanced
nutritious meal is important to be healthy. So they may serve you one
hot meal a day, five days per week, if you're over 60 years old. You're
old, you don't need more food than that!
