Meals and Nutrition
Greater Northfield Senior Center (GNSC) works hard to ensure that all area seniors have access to at least one regular nutritious meal per day. Food is love, and nourishing food is very important, and is the cornerstone of our work here at GNSC. Our on-site chef cooks a homemade meal 5 days a week to be served in our dining room and to be sent out to our homebound neighbors through our Meals on Wheels program. Each meal is checked over by a nutritionist to ensure you're getting a nourishing meal that will provide 1/3 of your daily nutritional requirements (and taste great too)!
