Our History

In 1983, in an effort to improve the quality of meals and to lower the high cost of the elderly meals, the staff at the Central Midlands Council of Governments and the Richland County’s Senior Resources initiated the idea of Senior Catering. The original Board of Directors members were drawn from suggestions of volunteers from four county aging programs in the Central Midlands region. (Fairfield, Lexington, Newberry and Richland Counties). The Central Midlands Region had contracted with five different caterers during the previous five years and was becoming increasingly dissatisfied with the meal service and the products being delivered.

The higher quality Senior Catering meals were achieved by using Grade ‘A’ Quality foods; preparing the meals the same day they are served; utilizing fresh chicken as an entree on the menu; developing special events menus and providing availability; affording the customer alternate menus.
