From March 1, 2020 to February 28, 2021 - during the COVID-19 pandemic -  a total of 108,309 meals were delivered by staff from the Town of Brookhaven’s Senior Division, more than triple the amount of meals delivered in a normal year. One year later, the Town of Brookhaven still operates its enhanced Home Delivered Meal Program, delivering about 500 meals a day to senior citizens.    By comparison, during the prior year before the pandemic, a total of 30,902 meals were delivered to seniors through the Home Delivered Meal Program.   In March 2020 at the beginning of the pandemic, the Congregate Meal Program previously held at the Town’s Nutrition Centers was immediately converted to a Home Delivered Meal Program, and any senior who participated in the Town’s Congregate Meal Program was offered the opportunity to have these meals delivered to their homes by Town employees, five days a week.
