Nodaway County Senior Center named March Business of the Month

Nodaway County Senior Center (NCSC) is the Greater Maryville Chamber of Commerce Ambassadors March Business of the Month due to its outstanding service to the community.

Located at 1210 East First Street, the Senior Center is open to the public. Its mission is to provide quality services and programming to enable older adults to maintain their independence.

As stated in its nomination, the NCSC, “is run on very limited staffing with many, many volunteers. They all go above and beyond to help the senior citizens of

Nodaway County. They work on a very tight budget and still provide a delicious meal. They provide home delivered meals to those seniors who are unable to get out of their home or have limited resources. They provide socialization at the senior center along with meals and recreation activities.”

The NCSC provides hot, nutritious meals for dine-in and delivery on weekdays, as well as frozen options for evenings and weekends. Anyone may eat at the center for a nominal cost, which is reduced for those over the age of 60. Social activity is also an important offering of the center. Both routine and special events are offered to appeal to the hobbies and interests of patrons. Visit the NCSC website at nodawayseniors.com to learn more about all the good things available.
