The Senior Resource Center oversees four meal sites throughout Sawyer County. They are located in the towns of Hayward, Exeland/Winter, Spider Lake, and Stone Lake.
What is it?
Senior Nutrition Programs provide congregate (served on site) and home-delivered meals (Meals on Wheels), which allow individuals to remain healthy, active and independent in their communities and homes.
When is it?
Homemade Meals are served Monday through Friday at noon at the sites in Hayward, Exeland/Winter, and Stone Lake. Meals for eligible home bound individuals are delivered to their home on the same schedule.
In order to ensure there is enough food available and reduce waste, PLEASE call the site location and make a reservation no later than 9am on the day of the meal, although we would prefer a call at least a day in advance. Substitutions can be made with advance notice.
Please call the Hayward site at (715) 634-4680 to make lunch reservations in advance for Spider Lake and Stone Lake.
