The Yu-Ai Kai van picks up seniors from their homes and escorts them to the Yu-Ai Kai Community Center where the Nutrition Program is held.  This program is designed for those seniors who are unable to drive, have no other means of transportation, or are isolated for one reason or another.

The Yu-Ai Kai Nutrition Program also offers home delivered meals to those seniors who qualify.  Special arrangements can be made for meals to be picked up outside the delivery area.  A suggested contribution for lunch is $3.00.  To find out more about both of these services, please call the Yu-Ai Kai Nutrition Program at (408) 297-4979.
