A meal provided for the elderly in a place such as a community center

Explanation:

Gathered meals are meals organized by a social group or person whose purpose is to provide food for the elderly (up to 60 years old) in some community center, such as churches and the retirement home. The main purpose of congregated meals is to provide a balanced diet for the elderly in delicate social situations and to promote socialization, so that the elderly make new friends and participate in a pleasant activity. Seniors tend to be very lonely, so aggregate meals in addition to providing healthy food can take some of their loneliness.
