The primary goal of the Senior Nutrition Program it to support Tribal Elders in their efforts to retain their health, dignity, and independence. The Tribal Government of the Chukchansi Indian people promotes these goals in a variety of ways:

• By improving the Elders' nutritional status by providing daily nutritious and healthful meals.

• By offering current nutrition and health education, wellness and diet materials, as well as classroom-style education during congregate meals; and

• By promoting informal socialization with staff and relatives through participation in traditional activities (games, craft making, food preparation), as well as transportation to ceremonial gatherings and recreational events.
