Great Plates Delivered

Governor Newsom announced the launch of a first-in-the-nation “Great Plates Delivered: Home Meals for Seniors” partnership with counties, cities, and Tribes. The program has two purposes:

1. Help older adults (65 years or older) and other adults (60-64 years) at high risk from COVID-19 to stay home and stay healthy by delivering three nutritious meals a day, and
2. Provide essential economic stimulus to local businesses and workers struggling to stay afloat during the COVID crisis.

Restaurants and food providers interested in participating can fill out a Food Provider Interest Form here. 

Food provider meals must meet the following nutritional requirements:

• Breakfast: low in sodium, no sugary drinks (<24 grams /8 oz. and of fruit juice, must be only 100 percent fruit juice allowed); and
• Lunch and dinner: a piece of fresh fruit or vegetable on each dish, and low in sodium, no sugary drinks (<24 grams /8 oz. and of fruit juice, must be only 100 percent fruit juice allowed).
