Millions of older adults in the US lack the nutrition they need. TRIO Community Meals partners with like-minded senior nutrition programs across the country to deliver meals that are regionally inspired, culturally relevant, and medically tailored. Serving more than 125 million of these meals every year, TRIO draws on more than 50 years of experience. For TRIO, it is more than delivering food; together with its partners, they serve as a lifeline in supporting the independence, dignity, and wellbeing of older adults.
At the heart of TRIO Community Meals’ mission is the understanding that those it serves are more than just customers – they are individuals with unique stories and lives. TRIO goes beyond providing fresh, nutritious meals; it nourishes the whole person. This philosophy is reflected in its thoughtfully crafted menus, which balance familiarity and comfort with the nutrition needed to support the health and happiness of America’s older adults.
TRIO’s comprehensive senior nutrition services cover every step, from meal planning to preparation and delivery. Its offerings include hot, chilled, frozen, and emergency shelf-stable meals, ensuring flexibility to meet diverse needs. Behind every meal is a dedicated team of chefs, dietitians, delivery drivers, and administrative staff, all committed to making a difference and showing recipients that they are cared for and valued members of their community.
“TRIO’s commitment to quality and care ensures that every meal is not just a delivery but a gesture of compassion, designed to nourish both the body and the spirit.”
With an approach rooted in reliability and compassion, every element of TRIO’s encompassing service is designed to enhance the experiences of both the older adults it serves and the likes of Area Agencies on Aging, Meals on Wheels programs, and other senior nutrition organizations it partners with. To ensure that it can continue to go above and beyond for both of these groups, TRIO takes feedback seriously and collaborates with its customers and partners to see that their every need is more than met.
TRIO’s adaptability, combined with its unwavering commitment to the human element, ensures that every meal and program upholds the highest standards. From a customer’s first impression—whether it’s the warm smile of a friendly delivery driver or a beautifully presented hot meal served directly to them—TRIO emphasizes quality and authenticity in both its food and its service. Beyond serving homebound seniors and congregate meal sites, TRIO extends its expertise to other programs and communities, including senior living facilities, emergency response programs, and transitional housing. This versatility highlights TRIO’s ability to support diverse populations while maintaining its core focus on delivering nutritious, high-quality meals with care and reliability.
“TRIO’s mission is not just to deliver meals but to create meaningful experiences that resonate with the communities we serve,” says Senior Vice President of Growth Lisa Damore. “By listening closely to our clients and adapting to their evolving needs, we ensure that every interaction reflects TRIO’s commitment to quality, compassion, and trust.” These promises are reflected further across the internal culture at TRIO, which is also built on such cornerstones as teamwork, inclusivity, and innovation.
“TRIO’s innovative use of speed/scratch methods, which balance labour efficiency with culinary excellence, showcase our ability to deliver quality at scale.”
Rooted in its core values, TRIO continues to exceed the expectations of both customers and partners, exemplified by recent innovations through the intersection of food and nutrition education. As Director of Marketing Tristin Perry explains it: “At TRIO, we’re constantly innovating to better serve older adults and the programs that support them. As we expand our reach and develop new menu offerings, we remain focused on building strong, meaningful partnerships that help our clients achieve their goals and have a lasting impact on the lives of older adults.”
Ultimately, as demonstrated by everything from its medically tailored, regionally inspired menus to its devoted team, TRIO Community Meals is committed to going the extra mile through its senior nutrition services, empowering older adults to age independently while enabling senior nutrition programs to focus on other critical aspects of their mission. 2025 is expected to be another strong year for this truly remarkable company, and we wish it all the best as it continues to serve up excellence to old adults through services that are delivered throughout the US.
