At the meeting a commenter relayed that the county’s Meals on Wheels program is experiencing financial difficulty and may reduce service days.
The speaker, identified in the transcript as a commenter representing CCFS, said, “our Meals on Wheels is financial in trouble. It is. Yeah. They’re gonna maybe cut down to 4 days,” and added the program was not taking new clients while the situation is assessed. Committee members asked for more information and said they would follow up with program staff and with an effort to identify funding options.
No vote or formal action was taken on the item during the meeting; staff indicated they would gather details about the program’s caseload and prior county funding (one committee member recalled a prior ARPA contribution but did not have the exact amount on hand).
