Feb 12, 2026

The Eastern Shore Area Agency on Aging asked the board for a $26,570 increase to complete a Hallwood commercial kitchen ($10,000 one-time) and to offset rising food and welfare costs ($16,570) so it can prepare meals on site and meet increased demand among seniors and children.

The full story

Donna Smith, CEO of the Eastern Shore Area Agency on Aging and Community Action Agency, asked supervisors for $26,570 above last year's funding to complete the Hallwood commercial kitchen and stabilize services. "The $10,000 that I'm asking for one time investment will complete the Hallwood Commercial Kitchen by connecting the range hood, installing 3 compartment commercial sinks, and meeting the inspection requirements," Smith said, adding that the remaining $16,570 would offset rising food and health‑related costs.
