Spectrum Senior Meals Take Out Lunch Program:

Spectrum Senior Meal Program is now featuring fresh, hot nutritious meals for adults 60+ which are prepared each morning at Spectrum’s Hayward kitchen. Until the San Leandro Senior Community Center resumes indoor group dining, participants will continue to pick up their meal to take away. The suggested donation per meal is $4.00; no registered participant will be refused a meal due to lack of funds.

Please complete your application to participate in the Spectrum Senior Meal:

Spectrum is now partnering with SPARKL Reusables to reduce the volume of single-use containers entering the Alameda County waste stream, providing reusable takeaway containers for the meal program. Each participant will be responsible for careful usage and returning the containers to Spectrum each day to be washed and sanitized for reuse.
