BALTIMORE COUNTY, MD — Nine senior centers will reopen this summer in Baltimore County, but until the remaining 11 centers open, the county's Eating Together program at senior centers will remain on hiatus. The county is requiring members to complete an orientation in order to utilize the nine senior centers that are expected to open in July. They are located in Dundalk, Towson, Cockeysville, Randallstown, Pikesville, Perry Hall and Baltimore. Until the Eating Together program resumes operations at senior centers, the county aging department will continue to provide a weekly bulk food program for seniors and will be expanding to include nine additional sites: Ateaze, Bykota, Catonsville, Cockeysville, Essex, Liberty, Parkville, Reisterstown and Seven Oaks senior centers. One member per household can register to participate in the Eating Together program at www.baltimorecountymd.gov/agin... or call 410-887-2040 Mondays between 8:30 a.m. and 4 p.m. to reserve a food kit. Each "kit" includes canned goods, fruits and vegetables, dairy products and a small chicken. Food distributions will occur on Wednesdays, the county noted.
