Service Impacts <br /> 0 Beginning July 1 , 2009, the senior lunch program in Orange County will be converted <br /> from a catered service provided by the Joint Orange Chatham Community Action <br /> Agency (JOCCA) to one operated locally by the Orange County Department on <br /> Aging (OCDOA). <br /> ■ Program would replace the congregate meals program formerly offered by <br /> JOCCA. <br /> ■ Orange County provided JOCCA $25,000 annually, through Outside Agency <br /> funds, to provide this service at the senior centers. <br /> ® This change presents the opportunity to provide a higher quality of food to Orange <br /> County's older adults compared to the meals that are currently being served. <br /> 0 This transition also creates the opportunity to integrate progressive social and <br /> environmental measures in the restructuring of the senior lunch program that are <br /> consistent with Orange County's stated values. <br /> ■ composting <br /> A few of these measures include; using locally grown ingredients, c. <br /> organic waste, serving on reusable dishes; and thoroughly, continuously <br /> evaluating the food service program. <br /> 0 OCDOA will serve a higher quality food in an environmentally responsible manner <br /> will attract a new and more diverse group of diners to eat lunch at senior centers and <br /> improve the dining experience of the individuals who eat there already. <br /> 0 Attracting new people, particularly baby boomers, to the lunch program will make the <br /> services offered at the entire senior center more sustainable over the long term. <br /> 3-5 <br />
