Congratulations to Foodnet Meals on Wheels! | Foodnet Meals on Wheels celebrated the completion of their renovations with a ribbon cutting last week. A new deck to help load delivery trucks, better ventilation, storage, a parking lot, drainage, a roof, siding, and a well-lit sign all signify that this community staple is in it for the long haul.
