Spring is Almost Here! As we welcome the approach of spring, I’m looking forward to warmer weather and more time spent outdoors! It’s always a joy to witness everything blooming and coming back to life after the winter months.
We would like to extend our sincerest apologies for the meal sealing issues that occurred recently. After a thorough investigation, we were able to pinpoint the problem and have since replaced the faulty equipment. We hope this issue is behind us and appreciate everyone’s patience during that time.
We’re excited to announce a new and beneficial partnership with Benton Franklin Transit (BFT). We are now able to distribute FREE Senior Passes for the BFT bus system! If you’re 65 or older and interested in obtaining a pass, simply contact our office or ask a Site Lead for more information. To register, we’ll need your name, birth date, phone number, and email address (if available). Once registered, you can either pick up your pass at the site or receive it with your regular meal delivery. We’re thrilled to offer this service and grateful for our partnership with Benton Franklin Transit.
In addition, our Emergency Shelf Stable Meal Boxes have been delivered. A big thank you to all the staff and volunteers who helped with the distribution to our Home Delivery clients. These boxes are intended for use in case we’re unable to deliver meals due to weather or other emergencies.
Lastly, we’re excited to announce the launch of our annual Celebrate Your Pet program! Wish lists are now being distributed to all Home Delivery clients, and forms will be available at each Dining Site for our Congregate participants. Completed lists should be returned to us by Friday, April 11th, either by mail or at a Dining Site. A huge thank you to Joan and her team of Elves for managing this special part of our program!
We are looking forward to a wonderful spring and all the exciting opportunities ahead. Thank you again for your continued support!
