Board supports plan to restart Friday senior meals with American Legion and Links volunteers
Summary
The board backed a plan to use the Links community room for Friday senior meals, with volunteers delivering meals and the American Legion covering veterans' meals; meals will cost $5.25 each and staff hope to start in February.
District staff told the board they had worked with community partners after the city declined to continue the senior-meal program following the districts lease termination. Superintendent Heidi Sipe said the district received approval to use the Links community room and volunteers are available to deliver meals; the American Legion will pay for meals for veterans.
Superintendent Sipe told the board, "We used to do senior meals on Fridays in our community for about 10 years." The meetings noted a $5.25 charge per meal; the district will coordinate volunteer support and community contributions for people who cannot afford the fee. The board supported moving forward with the plan and staff hope to begin service in February.
