Commissioner Lorraine Cortes-Vasquez confirms that older adult centers in NYC can offer grab and go meals if included in their contracts.

• Older adult centers that choose to include grab and go options in their contracts are allowed to provide them.
• Grab and go meals are not considered supplemental but are the primary meal offered to older adults.
• Council Member Crystal Hudson inquires about the number or percentage of centers offering grab and go meals.
• Commissioner Cortes-Vasquez needs to check for precise figures but assures the information is obtainable.
