Dakota Senior Meals

Dakota Senior Meals, a program provided by the Rural Office of Community Services (ROCS), has been serving the residents of Gregory, SD for over 20 years. This non-profit agency offers a nutritious noon meal five days a week at their nutrition center, with the option of home delivery for those unable to leave their homes. The program is open to individuals aged 60 and older, providing a lifeline for seniors to stay in their homes longer and offering socialization opportunities.

ROCS, governed by a tripartite board of directors, receives funding from federal, state, county, and city governments, as well as private and local community support. The Dakota Senior Meals program not only helps individuals recover from illnesses or surgeries but also allows them to socialize with others, often being the only interaction they have all day. By enabling the elderly to remain in their homes, the program not only promotes comfort but also helps save the state money and preserves individuals' savings.
