Antioch Senior Center

A nutritious balanced hot lunch is served at the center Monday & Wednesday 11:45 a.m. for $4 per meal.  On Friday a light lunch of soup and/or sandwich is served.  The nutrition program is run by senior volunteers who work in the kitchen, serve meals, help with registration and clean-up. The menu is posted at the center.  A home-delivered Meals on Wheels program for eligible seniors also operates in Antioch.  For more information, call Catholic Charities at 847-546-5733.

Donations & scholarships are made to worthy and needy Antioch community groups and individuals through the Dolly Spiering Memorial Fund. Every evening the Senior Center is being used by nonproft Antioch community groups/organizations for their weekly meetings.
