The amount of organization and preparation is surmountable, but with many hands, the work is attainable and rewarding.

In addition, the center is accepting names of residents that would like a lunch, call the center and indicate if you would like the meal delivered or if would like to pick it up. If you can help in anyway, reach out to the Uxbridge Senior Center by November 10th, contact Lisa Bernard, Director, at 508-278-8622.
