Seabreeze Dining/Nutrition Services
Seabreeze Dining
Our Seabreeze
Dining Room overlooks beautiful Narragansett Bay in historic Wickford. Healthy
Starts Breakfast and nutritionally balanced hot lunches are served Monday
through Friday. If you prefer a lighter meal, sandwiches are also served daily.
For this month’s luncheon menu, click on
Menu.
The primary
goal of the program is to promote good health.
However, many people say the best part is making new friends and being reunited
with past friends.
At Seabreeze
Dining, holidays are celebrated with special meals such as St. Patrick's Day
with Corned Beef and Cabbage. There is also a special monthly birthday luncheon with
cake and ice cream.
Beechwood Cafe' will offer salad and
sandwiches as an alternative for diners between 11:00 am and 1:30 pm at market rates.
No reservations are needed.
Healthy

Meals on Wheels

Meals on
Wheels is a vital and well-established program in North Kingstown. While we are
able to provide meals for between 40-50 individuals on any given day, during the
course of a month we will average serving 40 different individuals. This service
attempts to solve some of the problems presented by older persons or the
handicapped who are homebound. Convalescents can also be served, which enable
them to return to their homes following a hospital stay. Meals on Wheels comes
into these homes with nourishing food Monday through Friday.
Because of
the volume of need, our routes are broken down into three areas: North, South,
and Middle. These meals are delivered between 11:00am and 1:00pm and consist of
a hot, ready to eat dinner within an insulated, recyclable container. Delivery
of a meal once a day also means more than a meal to the recipients. The personal
touch of a warm and friendly visitor can do wonders to brighten their day. To
receive Meals on Wheels certain criteria must be met and there is a recommended
donation of $3.00/day usually collected weekly. Again, as with Seabreeze
Dining, no one is turned away for lack of payment. For further information on
Meals on Wheels call toll free 1-888-44-MEALS. And if you’d like to volunteer,
please call our Meals on Wheels Volunteer Coordinator Carolyn
Ingalls at (401)
295-7054.
