Meals on Wheels/Elderly Nutrition Program

What is the Elderly Nutrition Program?
The program is a federal and state funded nutrition program, administered by the Executive Office of Elder Affairs, which allows local agencies to provide nutritious meals to elderly citizens. The program in Southborough is administered by our local Area Agency on Aging, Springwell, and is served out of the Westborough Senior Center. Home delivered meals are served through the Meals on Wheels service Monday thru Friday, 10AM – 1PM. A noontime congregate meal is also served on Friday.

What does the Elderly Nutrition program provide?
Meals are provided at congregate meal sites and through home-delivered meals to senior citizens (age 60 and over). Each meal contains at least 1/3 of the current daily recommended dietary allowance of nutrients and considers the special dietary needs of the elderly.
