 The Catholic Youth Association (CYA) serves hot lunches for senior citizens (persons over 60) Monday through Friday at 4 locations: Bloomfield, Lawrenceville, Polish Hill, and West Deer Township.

CYA's Center Lunch program is a low-cost way for senior citizens to enjoy a nutritious meal and the companionship of others. It's also a way for seniors to stay healthy and connected. (See article on Senior Nutrition)

For seniors, the benefits of healthy eating include increased mental acuteness, resistance to illness and disease, higher energy levels, a more robust immune system, faster recuperation times, and better management of chronic health problems. As we age, eating well can also be the key to a positive outlook and staying emotionally balanced.

CYA's Center Lunch program is funded by the Allegheny County Department of Aging (AAA). In this regard, there is no fixed-cost for lunch at any of CYA's 4 sites. As a guideline, however, and as a way to support added services and amenities, we suggest a donation of $1/meal.

Since lunches need to be ordered ahead of time, reservations should be made a day in advance. They can be made by calling 412-621-3342.
