Maureen Neuberger, Director of the Catholic Charities Senior Nutrition Program serving towns throughout lower Fairfield County, including Darien, will discuss the launch of a new initiative called the Senior Dine Program – a restaurant-based meal program where seniors, 60 years and older, can come together in a traditional restaurant setting for a nutritious meal at a subsidized price. There are no income requirements. Partnering with local restaurants, Senior Dine has a flexible schedule and choice of meal. Catholic Charities works to develop menus that are balanced and nutritious. This program, together with the organization’s Senior Cafés located at area senior centers, promotes socialization and independence.
Maureen joined the Senior Nutrition Program eight years ago as the Program Director. Prior to joining Senior Nutrition, she was working at a Private Duty agency, working with elderly individuals and their families to arrange care in peoples’ homes.
Maureen graduated from Iona College with a BA in Psychology and a Minor in Communications. She is originally from Stamford, CT and currently resides there. Maureen is an avid cook, enjoys walking the dog and playing golf.
