Since 1974, OCO Nutrition Services programs have provided over 10 million meals to senior citizens aged 60 and older and their spouses, regardless of income, adults under 60 and youth. All meals are available throughout the county via the Home Delivered Meals Program, afterschool sites and summer food service sites as well as at any of the six (6) Dining and Activity Centers.

Meals are either followed by the USDA meal pattern requirements or planned by a registered dietitian that follows the recommended dietary allowance. The meals are prepared and delivered by our professional staff as well as a network of dedicated Volunteers.

Programs are partially supported through grants from our partners: Oswego County Office for the Aging, NYS Office for the Aging and the United Way of Greater Oswego County, Inc.

Kitchen & Distribution

Every weekday over 1,000 meals are produced in our Mexico Kitchen, and then delivered to our client’s homes and Dining & Activity Centers.

Anytime Entree

This self-pay program is separate from the monthly home delivered meals. This program has entrees that are convenient and can be delivered to you at home or can be picked up at the closest Dining and Activity Center near you. There are six locations to choose from throughout Oswego County. Here are some highlights about this program, they are cost effective as each entrée is only $4.25 and you may order as many as you would like. The Anytime Entrée are available to anyone regardless of age within the Oswego County which means you do not need to be a home delivered meal client. Where else can you have a meal that is convenient and easy for a price that is cheaper than a fast food meal?

Reheating and payment for these meals are super easy. Payment for the meals are made directly to OCO Nutrition Services when you order your meals by calling 315-598-4712 for credit/debit card or by mailing in your order with a check or money order to 5871 Scenic Ave. Mexico NY 13114.

A link is available at the beginning of the webpage for a current order form.

Dining & Activity Centers

Our Dining & Activity Centers are great places for seniors to come and socialize with friends for the afternoon. There’s crafts, games, Wii bowling, birthday celebrations, annual holiday parties, and so much more to look forward to…all while enjoying a nutritious and filling lunch!

If you would like to attend a center, please call the center manager ahead of time at the phone number given to make reservations for meals or to find out more information.  Hot and delicious lunches are served promptly at noon . Please call the center managers for more details.
