ST. CROIX COUNTY, WI – Throughout the month of September, the Aging and Disability Resource Center (ADRC) of St. Croix County will host a series of Pop-Up Nutrition Events at senior centers and dining sites across the county.
These events highlight the importance of Senior Centers and senior nutrition. Senior Centers provide more than just a meal. They offer welcoming spaces where older adults can enjoy nutritious food, socialize, stay active, and access activities, events, and resources that support health, independence, and community connection.
We invite older adults throughout the county to join us for these events, enjoy a meal, connect with others, and learn about the programs and resources available at their local Senior Center.
