| THE LUNCH BUNCH: SENIOR MEALS | |

Monday-Friday | 11:45 am | Reservations should be made 24 hours in advance by calling the Food Site Manager at 218.299.5519 between the hours of 10 am-12:30 pm.

NSI provides this service in part, under the Federal Older Americans Act through a contract with the NWRDC under an area plan approved by the Minnesota Board on Aging. CALL TO ACTION: Meals for older adults are seriously underfunded in Minnesota and, as a result, the health of older Minnesotans is at risk. We need your help to add $10 million to the Senior Nutrition Program under Minnesota Statutes, section 256.9752. Click here to learn more.
