Services
Are you Homebound or know someone who is? Let the Silver Foxes Den help you with your meals.  We have expanded our service to the more rurally isolated areas of the county and would like to help you, help yourself. 

These meals are the same meals prepared in our kitchen by the same cooks who prepare those scrumptious senior center meals.  Our hot meal, home delivered program remains available to those closer to town 4 days per week, and frozen meals on Thursdays.
