ADRC board agrees to raise suggested meal contributions to $4–$6, effective July 1
Summary
Crawford County’s Aging & Disability Resource Center board agreed May 28 to raise suggested contributions for meal programs to a range of $4.00–$6.00 per meal, effective July 1, and requested a six-month review to assess actual contributions received.
The Crawford County Aging & Disability Resource Center board on May 28 agreed to raise the suggested contribution for meal programs to a range of $4.00 to $6.00 per meal, a change the board said will take effect July 1.
Board members heard operation-year-to-date figures from Administrative Assistant Jacob Schneider and discussed how limited state funding should guide local goal-setting. Director Roby Fuller reported the Nutrition Advisory Committee had noted state and neighboring-county contribution averages and presented an updated recommendation to increase the local suggested contributions.
The board did not record a formal roll-call tally for this item in the meeting minutes; members asked staff to review the change after six months and report back on actual contributions received and any need for adjustments. The minutes record the board agreed to the change but do not specify which of the two amounts applies to home-delivered meals versus congregate site meals (the transcript lists the amounts as "$4.00 $6.00").
The board discussed nearby counties’ suggested ranges and the state average referenced by staff, and asked that the contribution levels be revisited in six months to ensure they do not create access barriers for low-income participants. No additional funding source or statutory authority was cited during the discussion.
