The congregate dining program at Crown Center for Senior Living is more than just a place to enjoy a freshly prepared, nutritious kosher meal. Celebrate birthdays and special occasions, meet new friends and engage in stimulating conversations. This affordable program is geared for those 60 and older and open to Crown Center residents as well as community guests. Dinner is served at 5 p.m. on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays throughout the year, as well as on Fridays at 5 p.m. during the spring and summer. Lunch is served on Tuesdays from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. throughout the year, as well as on Fridays during the fall and winter. Meals are served in the Dining Room/Circle@Crown Cafe.

Crown Center also provides the option of kosher home delivered meals for clients living in the University City area east of I-70. Eligible participants need to be age 60 or older, require food that adheres to kosher dietary laws, have limited ability to prepare nutritious meals, and be unable to attend the congregate program at Crown. Meals are catered and served from a Vaad Hoeir-approved kitchen at Crown Center. Congregate dining reservations can be made to 314-991-2055 ext. 124. For more information about either program or to inquire about becoming a volunteer home delivery driver, call Ezra Rabinsky (see above).

Funding is provided by Aging Ahead, Jewish Federation of St. Louis, and Crown Center for Senior Living.
