Capital City Café Program

Rhode Island residents aged 60 and older can enjoy socialized dining with their peers at one of program lunches held Monday-Friday at locations throughout the City of Providence. 

At each lunch service, clients receive a meal that meets one-third of their daily dietary requirement. Meals are usually served hot, with some exceptions where a cold lunch (i.e., sandwiches) is served. Clients are also provided with health education from guest speakers. Topics cover issues relevant to an older adult’s health needs. 

Transportation is available to the closest lunch site for those who are 60 years of age and older, or people under the age of 60 who live with disabilities or receive general public assistance. For more information on transportation, please contact:

RIDE Program at 1-800-479-6902 or LogistiCare at 1-855-330-9131.
