Dine-In Meals
The congregate meal program, sponsored by the East Texas Area Agency on Aging, ensures a daily free and nutritious meal for seniors ages 60 and older. Lunch is served Monday through Friday at the Tri-County Meals on Wheels office at 200 N. Church St., Palestine, TX, beginning at 11:30 a.m. Lunch is served in our Dining Room and concludes by 12:15 p.m. A 24-hour reservation is appreciated as is a 24-hour cancellation notice.
