Lunch Program
From Monday-Friday, a donation-based balanced lunch is served at 12:00pm. A one dollar donation is suggested to enhance the program. Meals are planned by a qualified nutritionist to supply at least one third of the day’s nutritional requirements. Seniors are asked to make reservations for meals at least three days in advance. If you would like more information about the donation-based lunch program, please leave a message for Linda at (609) 264-7350 ext. 3004 or prompt 2.
Meals on Wheels Program
Approximately 20 years ago, the City of Brigantine decided to initiate a volunteer program that would include delivering meals to homebound seniors. As of today, we have over 25 volunteers who deliver twenty meals from Monday-Friday. If you would like more information about the home delivery program, please leave a message for Linda at (609) 264-7350 ext. 3004 or prompt 2.
On-Island Transportation
When the City of Brigantine initiated the volunteer meal program, they also incorporated a senior shuttle bus which enables seniors to keep their appointments and do their shopping on the island at no cost. The shuttle bus operates between 9:00am-12:00pm Monday to Friday. Rides must be scheduled 24-hours in advance. To get more information about the senior shuttle or to schedule a pickup, please call the Senior Shuttle Office at (609) 264-7350 ext. 3006 or prompt 4.
Off-Island Transportation
Atlantic County provides transportation for seniors to the senior centers and to medical visits and shopping. The service operates Monday-Friday; 8:00am to 4:00pm. Reservations are required; call (609) 645-5910 between 9:00 am and 4:00pm, weekdays. Advanced reservations for Life Essential Services are accepted up to 7-days prior to travel. Advanced reservations for Life Enhancing Services are accepted up to 2 days prior to travel. For customer service, cancellations or further information, call (609) 645-5910 between 7:00am and 3:30pm, weekdays.
Volunteer Opportunities
From serving lunches to driving the shuttle bus, coordinating shuttle pickups and delivering meals, the Senior Center could not be successful without volunteers. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all of our volunteers, past and present, for giving their own time to making Brigantine a more caring community. There is always room for more, so please give some thought to donating your time to these worthy causes.
