Brenda enjoys going to the Allen Nutrition Site for the friendship and comradery.

The Allen Nutrition is currently a “pick up only site” due to the increase in Covid numbers.

Anyone 60 year of age or over is invited to partake of the meals which are served free of charge but a $2 donation is suggested and appreciated. Site Manager Dava Beck asks that you call the day prior or before 9:00 a.m. that day to make reservations so they will know how many meals to prepare. The Site phone number is (580) 857-2803.
