The Iowa Cafe is a new partnership between Iowa's Area Agencies on Aging and licensed food service establishments like restaurants and cafes. Participants are given a credit card-style or keychain card-style card to use at local participating restaurants. Meals are provided on a voluntary contribution basis, and individuals will be given the opportunity to contribute towards the cost of the meal. Maximum monthly meals are reduced from 12 to 6. Cards may only be swiped at a participant's "home base" location; cannot offer service across multiple sites for one participant

Register by filling out a Registration Form. Once the registration is processed, clients will receive a key card in the mail. When visiting a participating restaurant, clients choose an item from the Iowa Cafe menu and use the key card to pay.
