Union County Announces New Vendor for Senior Nutrition Program
Temporary Service Adjustments Expected During Transition
Brooklyn Kitchen will assume operations of the County’s Senior Nutrition Program, effective January 1, 2026. The program provides nutritious meals to eligible older adults through home-delivered services and congregate meal sites throughout Union County.
During the initial transition period, eligible seniors may notice some temporary adjustments as the new vendor ramps up operations:
- Meal delivery times may vary as routes are adjusted and drivers learn new schedules. Some deliveries may arrive earlier or later than usual during the first few weeks.
- Frozen meals will be provided temporarily in January before the program transitions back to hot meals. These meals meet the same nutritional standards and help ensure consistent service during the transition.
- New staff will be providing service, including drivers and congregate site personnel who are being trained and on boarded. All staff are screened and trained to support senior safety and nutrition.
- No changes are expected at congregate sites. All 17 congregate meal sites across Union County will continue to receive hot meals on their regular schedules.
