Community Cafés

The Ulster County Office for the Aging Senior dining program provides a place where Seniors can visit for group meals, special events, physical activity opportunities and social engagement. The Office for the Aging operates five Community Cafés throughout the county, which offer nutritious, hot meals.

This program is open to Ulster County Seniors 60 years and older.

Lunch is served at Ellenville, Rosendale, New Paltz, Saugerties, Town of Ulster, and Woodstock. Check below for specific days that cafés are open.

Reservations and registration are required for this program. For meal reservation please call Gateway Hudson Valley at 845-331-2180.

The recommended voluntary contribution for a Community Café meal is $3.00 per meal but not mandated.  All contributions are voluntary and confidential. No one will be denied a meal if they do not contribute.  Guests under the age of 60 will be expected to pay the full price of the meal $11.04/meal.
