Province expanding the Seniors’ Food Pilot Program

The provincial government is expanding the Seniors’ Food Pilot Program to Murray Harbour and Murray River. This expands the Kings County Pilot outside of the Georgetown area where it was initially launched.  PEI seniors in Murray River and Murray Harbour, aged 65 and older, can now register to receive up to five meals per week. Seniors who are eligible for the program will pay a flat rate of $4 per meal, as the Department of Social Development and Seniors will cover the remaining costs. To be eligible for the pilot program, seniors must be eligible for the Seniors Independence Initiative.   To apply, call the Department of Social Development and Seniors at 1-902-368-6369.
