Mary Jo McKay, Nutrition and Wellness Manager for Hillsborough County Aging Services, joined AM Tampa bay to discuss the Hillsborough Silver Platter Program.
The program is now serving 1,000 clients a dinner prepared by a local restaurant or food truck and was recently initiated with a focus on assisting Aging Services’ seniors who live alone and in areas that are scarcely populated with restaurants.
It provides additional nutrition to seniors who are sheltering in place to avoid potential exposure to COVID-19 coronavirus and even offers a safety check by a delivery driver who practices social distancing when delivering each meal.
