Physical Distancing and Face Masks now Required for FEAST To-Go pick-up at MSAC

For the safety of all—including our greeters and other participants-- during this time we require 6-foot distancing and face masks in order for recipients to receive a meal. You must wear a mask that covers your nose and mouth.

If you cannot wear a mask for medical reasons, you will need to make another arrangement for someone to pick up your meal.

If you are interested in the meals, call 262-6288 to make a reservation. Thank you for helping us keep everyone safe and healthy and for supporting the Feast Senior Meals during this time.

During our Coronavirus closure, FEAST Together on Tuesday and Friday are now FEAST To Go and will be served from a tent in our courtyard at 58 Barre Street from 12:00-12:30 pm.

This Week’s To-Go Menu
Tuesday, 9/29: Beef Brisket, Mashed Potatoes, Broccoli, Carrots, & Dessert
If Already Registered: 12:00-1:30: FEAST Together Inside

Friday, 10/02: Roast Beef Au'Jus, Potatoes, & Spinach

Vegetarian and other dietary restrictions are available by request!

We appreciate reservations at least a day in advance, or inquire about FEAST at Home, by calling 262-6288 or by email. Please consider joining us as a volunteer driver for FEAST at Home, and dish washing is another current need.

The suggested donation is $5-10 for anyone 60 or older, and the fee is $7-10 for those under 60. Our actual per meal cost is $10. Every dollar helps support healthy meals!

FEAST To-Go Nutritional Survey and why it matters

As our FEAST Together and FEAST To-Go diners over age 60 have learned, there is a short nutritional survey to fill out once per year to qualify to get your meals “by donation.” The survey is a requirement in order for us to receive partial reimbursements for the cost of your meal under Older Americans Act federal funding. We contract with Central Vermont Council on Aging in order to receive those federal reimbursements, and they help a lot in subsidizing the cost of our FEAST program (about 1/3 the cost of many (not all) of the meals!). The rest, we must raise through donations. So, thank you for taking the time to fill out the survey once per year, and please rest assured that your individual responses stay confidential. The results help us track statistics of how many people using the program are at nutritional risk in various ways and how our area compares with others across the state. If you don’t fill out the survey, you will need to pay the “under-60” $7-10 fee for each meal. "
