Nutrition Program Updates
A. Status of Elder Nutrition Program- Linder met with HDM drivers, volunteer drivers for the
Cable/Namekagon area to provide COVID-19 information relative for safety and sanitation. Go
Kits with PPE for HDM drivers with instructions were provided. Currently looking at splitting the
routes as they are getting quite large in some areas. The majority of consumers are receiving
meals 4 days/week, Cable route consumers are receiving meals 3 times week (M-W-F) with 2
meals per day for a total of 6 meals/week. Will look at the possibility of staggering meals on the 4
days/week to 2 meals M-W and/or 2 meals T-TH. Looking to minimize time on the road and still
get the same number of meals delivered.
With the pandemic rules have been adapted to include those 60 years+ who are practicing self-
isolation. HDM meals were made available to congregate participants when the sites were closed
effective March 19.
Linder met with vendors to see how they were protecting themselves and ensuring quality food
safety measures.
Grab and Go meal program in Iron River and Port Wing has been working out very well. This is a
pick-up meal for consumers. This option was discussed with the Barnes meal site manager and
participants but there was no interest. During a conversation with the Time Out Restaurant owner,
he indicated that he is not in any position to offer take-out.
Red Cliff contacted County Administrator regarding produce boxes They have been receiving
produce every 2 weeks and have opened it up to others in the community. We will receive a
shipment of boxes on July 30 for delivery with home delivered meals on August 3 & 4.
B. Review number of meals served in 1st Quarter of 2020 – Brief discussion.
Other (Informational Items)
DRAFT: Subject to change at
the September meeting.
