Burlington County senior citizens will continue to have multiple locations to go for healthy meals, socialization and enrichment in 2023.
The Burlington County Commissioners voted Wednesday to approve the renewal of leases at the four County congregate nutrition sites in Bordentown, Beverly, Mount Holly and Moorestown. The Board also voted to extend funding for the noon lunches served at the Pemberton Senior Center.
More than 24,000 meals have been served to seniors at the five sites so far this year.
“Our County’s congregate meals program is a great way for seniors to get out of the house, connect with other people and eat a nutritious meal in a community setting,” said Burlington County Commissioner Felicia Hopson, the liaison to the County Office on Aging and the Department of Human Services. “It was a real hardship when these sites had to close during the pandemic, but we’re thrilled they were able to reopen and operate normally once again, and we’re looking forward to an even better 2023.”
