(1) Each local area agency shall determine the number of congregate meal sites to be established in the area served and the days of operation for each congregate meal site.
(2) Each local area agency shall provide congregate meals at least five days per week. A rural area where such frequency is not feasible may offer congregate meals less frequently at the discretion of the division.
(3) Unused prepared food that has been transported to a congregate meal site shall be considered leftover food.
(4) Leftover food shall be properly refrigerated and safely incorporated into subsequent meals. Leftover food that cannot be properly refrigerated and safely incorporated into subsequent meals shall be properly disposed of at the congregate meal site.
(5) Leftover food shall be offered to all individuals as second servings at congregate meal sites that do not have on-site methods to preserve leftover food.
(6) Each congregate meal site shall display a disclaimer which states: "For Your Safety: Food removed from the center must be kept hot or refrigerated promptly. We cannot be responsible for illness or problems caused by improperly handled food."
(7) Each local area agency shall develop a policy that allows a provisional meal to be provided to eligible individuals who cannot attend the congregate meal site on a limited basis. If a provisional meal is provided, the local area agency shall document the individual's needs and shall assess whether the individual should be encouraged to receive home delivered meals.
