Midday
Friendship moves to new location
(2/15/09)
The Morris County Midday
Friendship Center nutrition site for senior citizens in
Roxbury is moving to a new home.
The
Center, operated by the Morris County Nutrition Program, is
leaving the Old Lafayette School on Berkshire Valley & Mill
roads for a township building at 72 Eyland Ave. that also
houses the Roxbury Senior Center.
It is
hoped the move will enable the program to increase the
number of seniors being served, said Lucille Duetsch,
director of the Nutrition Program.
She
said 6,646 meals were served last year to seniors from
Roxbury and nearby towns who came to the previous site,
while another 47,516 meals were delivered from the site to
area home-bound seniors.
The
telephone number for the new nutrition center, which opens
Feb. 4, will remain (973) 361-5231.
The
Morris County Nutrition Program operates 15 Midday
Friendship Centers throughout the county, offering senior
citizens nutritious noontime meals, special programs and
social activities.
The
program also offers home-delivered meals for home-bound
seniors.
The
Centers are in Butler, Chatham Borough, Chester Township,
Denville, Dover, Jefferson, Long Hill, Madison, Montville,
Morris Mews in Morris Township, Morristown, Mt. Olive,
Parsippany, Rockaway and Roxbury.

additional information, contact the Morris County Nutrition
Program at (973) 285-6856.
