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. May these renovations aid in their continued good work! This ability-based program helps keep aging adults fed, connected, and in their own homes for as long as possible.
