Senior nutrition program going strong
Monday, January 29, 2007 The Senior Citizens Center in Worthington has long served a need in our community by delivering meals to homebound folks and serving nutritious noontime lunches at the center. But a little while back, it was touch and go to keep this service running. Funding cuts, service cuts and changed policies caused this service to wobble with an uncertain future. Where there's a will, there's a way, and the Center found one. Our senior nutrition program in Worthington is running at full speed.
There's good food now coming from Glenburn in Linton and it's being served up by a new lady in the kitchen - Jennifer Stefancik. For our homebound seniors and disabled persons, volunteers are delivering a hot meal at lunchtime to an average of 16 Worthingtonians a day – Monday through Friday. For folks who can come to the Center to eat, lunch is served between 11:30 a.m. and 12 noon. Donations from the lunch crowd are appreciated. At this time, anywhere from eight to 15 people a day are enjoying the good food, and the good company.
