Since 1983, the Free Lunch Program (FLP) has been providing "an open door, full plate, no questions asked." Over 900 volunteers on 36 different serving teams from the Iowa City/Coralville area, and from communities as far as 60 miles away, take turns providing the noon meal 6 days a week. (Additional volunteers are sometimes needed; contact the FLP volunteer coordinator for information on volunteer opportunities.) Volunteers use their own food, donated food obtained via Table to Table Food Distribution Network, and/or low-cost food purchased by the FLP from the HACAP Food Reservoir.

The mission of the Senior Center is to promote optimal aging by creating opportunities to support wellness, social connections, community engagement, and lifelong learning. The Center serves the public through intergenerational programming and community outreach. Located in a beautifully restored historic post office on the corner of Linn and Washington Streets in downtown Iowa City, The Center has been serving adults age 50+ since 1981.
