Update on Senior Meals

Senior meals will begin the last week of April. We will be working with the Northport Schools in providing meals for dinner two days a week. The Vocational Tech Students will be working with the School Lunch Superintendent to prepare meals, deliver to the CE Building at the Presbyterian Church and serve the meals to the senior community on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 4:00pm. We received 16 surveys back with an overwhelming "YES!" we need and want meals provided. At this time a donation of $3.00 will be asked for each meal, but no one will be turned away if they cannot afford the donation. We will be meeting with Rural Resources on Monday April 12th to see if they can pick up part of the funding starting in June. We do have a couple of needs if anyone can help. We need a cart that keeps the food warm for transport between the school and the CE Building and disposable containers to put take home meals in. We are hoping on Thursdays to possible send the seniors home with a frozen meal to help cover one more day of the week. And we have a couple of seniors who need meals delivered to their homes as they are housebound. Any volunteers to deliver or donations to help with these other needs are most welcome.
