Answer to Question 1

The congregate meal sites are often community centers, senior centers, faith-based facilities, schools, adult daycare facilities, or older adult housing complexes. Administrators try to select sites for congregate meals that will be accessible to as many of the eligible older adults as possible.

Answer to Question 2
