The Wheatheart Nutrition Project’s meal site in Enid is getting a new home! Effective Friday, July 1, 2022 Wheatheart will begin providing mid-day meals at their new site in the Booker T. Washington Community Center. Located at 801 Pastor Alfred Baldwin Jr. Way (formerly 801 S. 5th), the new facility will provide hot meals, promote socialization and provide support and outreach services to senior adults age sixty and over. The agency is excited to partner with the Booker T. Washington Community Center, and feels that this will open the door to providing services for even more seniors in our community.
“The new site has a great location, excellent parking, and easy access for seniors with mobility challenges,” said Leslie Miller, co-director of The Wheatheart Nutrition Project. “I think this is a great opportunity for our agency, and for the seniors in Enid,” she said.
Meals will be served starting at 11am, Monday through Friday. It is important for seniors sixty and over to call ahead to reserve their meal. Reservations can be made by calling the site at 580-603-2429.
Wheatheart understands the challenges facing senior citizens, and seeks to offer support and outreach services, helping older adults to identify and access the many resources available in the community. The Outreach Coordinator is available to meet with seniors in their homes, discuss their unique needs and challenges, and work to develop strategies that enable those seniors to remain in their homes for as long as possible.
