Meriden Senior Center Elderly Nutrition Program

In this episode of A Moment with Marley, we are excited to hear from the Meriden Senior Center's Elderly Nutrition Program in honor of National Nutrition Month. The Meriden Senior Center offers a daily elderly nutrition program. The meals are provided by Trio Community Meals and are served Monday through Friday at 11:30am. Lunches are nutritious and well-balanced with protein, vegetables, fruits, dairy, and carbs that help maintain a healthy diet.  Members enjoy coming to the Senior Center for lunch as it is a time to connect with friends, enjoy lunchtime events, celebrate holidays and more. Members can volunteer in our kitchen, assisting in passing out beverages, silverware, and meals.   Members are required to sign-up for lunch by 12:30pm the day before by calling (203) 630-4704. There is a $3.00 suggested donation per meal for seniors age 60 and up, and a $6.00 fee for non-seniors and for persons currently getting Meals on Wheels. Please note a “Form 5” must be filled out when you come for your fist lunch and updated yearly after that. Not yet a member of the Senior Center? Membership is free for residents age 55 and over! To learn more about the Center’s nutrition program please call the Meriden Senior Center at (203) 237-0066. The menu can be viewed in the monthly newsletter, available at the Senior Center or online at www.meridenhealth.com.
