About the Program

The FEAST Senior Meals Program for older adults provides healthy, delicious meals to the community. Come and get a Curbside Pickup Meal, or enjoy Meals on Wheels delivered to your home. We serve approximately 18,000 meals each year.

FEAST Senior Meals program represents a unique partnership between the City of Montpelier Central Vermont Council on Aging. 

Our focus on fresh produce and whole foods nutrition is supported by Montpelier’s FEAST Farm, Just Basics, Inc and the Community Harvest of Central Vermont.

FEAST Meals on Wheels

MSAC's FEAST Senior Meals Program is proud to offer Meals on Wheels to older adults aged 60+ in Montpelier and Berlin. Is there an older adult in your life who needs more access to delicious, healthy food? Do you know someone who is struggling to get food on the table or eat more nutritionally? Let us know, because we can help! Our program offers regular nutrition education, socially distant engagement AND delicious, nutritious meals. Eligibility is simply for anyone over the age of 60; there is no charge, but donations are gladly accepted. Call us at the FEAST office to connect to our robust Meals on Wheels program with Monday through Thursday delivery: 802-262-6288. Note: during the pandemic, eligibility rules are loosened. 

FEAST Curbside Meal Pickup

Looking for a quick, affordable, delicious meal for lunch in Montpelier? Consider FEAST Curbside Meal Pickup available at our side door!  

Curbside meals are offered to older adults aged 60+ from anywhere (not just Montpelier residents) twice weekly. Call to register and simply mask up and drive up to the side door of MSAC on Tuesdays and Fridays between 12-12:30pm to receive a delicious, hot takeout meal. If you are new to the program, you will be asked to fill out a short nutritional survey. You can see our monthly menu on the button above. For adults 60 and over we offer meals for a suggested donation of $5-10. For those under 60, meals cost $7-10.  Please call to make your reservation: 802-262-6288.

When we are able to safely do so again, our community meals will again be available on Tuesdays and Fridays from noon to 1 p.m. For now, we're helping keep the community safe by not hosting in-person indoor meals at this time. 

FEAST Meals on Wheels and Curbside Pickup Meals are both offered at no charge to older adults aged 60+

Donations gratefully accepted: Suggested donation $5-$10

Curbside Meals are available to anyone under age 60 for $7-$10
