Somerville-Cambridge Elder Services’ nutrition team will once again lead a series of workshops and events in March in recognition of National Nutrition Month!

Nutrition team staff members will host two Food Safety Bingo events at the Somerville and Cambridge Senior Centers to educate the community about important food safety protocols in a fun, interactive way. Participants will have the opportunity to win prizes during these “lunch & learn” events.

SCES Registered Dietitian Andrea Svartstrom will also host two series of consultation hours to answer nutrition, food safety, and wellness questions next month.

“We’re excited to celebrate National Nutrition Month with bingo activities and individual nutrition consultation sessions,” said Andrea. “We hope that these events will be informative, engaging, and—most of all—fun for Somerville and Cambridge residents!”
