The Friendship Dining Program invites those 60+ years of age who are seeking companionship, activities and a hot, nutritious meal. Two Friendship Dining Centers are conveniently located in East and West Manatee County and are open Monday through Friday, except holidays. In some instances, transportation can be provided.

All Friendship Dining Centers receive the same meals as the home-delivered meal clients, provide one-third of the Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA), and are approved by a registered dietitian. Alternative meals may be available to meet certain dietary preferences.

Participants enjoy the following services provided at these centers:

  • Recreational activities including films, field trips, art and music
  • Holiday celebrations
  • Card games, bingo, creative projects, and more
