The Area Agency on Aging 3 announces that the Senior Dining Program has changed its name to DISH. DISH stands for Dining to Improve Socialization and Health, what the Senior Dining Program always tried to promote. 

“We are trying to really stress the need for older adults to get and socialize with others and we believe that they can accomplish that through the DISH program. We also know that the program helps older adults eat healthier and more regularly then they would normally do,” Program Director Emily Taylor said.
