STEUBENVILLE — Catholic Charities of Southeastern Ohio is partnering with Prime Time of Steubenville to serve daily meals and provide fellowship for area seniors beginning Oct. 6.

Leah Perdue, coordinator of Catholic Charities of Southeastern Ohio, said the program will be held at Catholic Charities, 430 Slack St., Steubenville, and is open to Jefferson County residents who are 60 years of age or older. In addition to a free lunch, she said participants will enjoy the opportunity to share in community and companionship.

Catholic Charities will be open for senior adults from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., with meals being served at noon. Transportation may be scheduled three days per week for those who need assistance getting to the Catholic Charities location.

“This partnership is an exciting opportunity to serve our neighbors. Not only will this program provide healthy meals, but it will also create a welcoming place where seniors can come together for fellowship and support. We are truly blessed to be able to walk with our community in this way,” Perdue said.

“Prime Time is happy to partner with Catholic Charities to provide a congregate meal location for senior citizens in the South End of Steubenville,” said Trudy Wilson, manager of Prime Time Senior Services. Wilson added, “We know there is a need for food in that area, and it’s a way that Prime Time and Catholic Charities can work together to provide healthy, nutritious lunches and a time of fellowship.”

Catholic Charities is seeking volunteers to assist with the program.
