Senior Center reopens for meals, van rides

After a monthlong closure to in-person dining and a temporary suspension of van rides, the Senior Center is back open for both.

The center reopened with prepared lunches last week, and will reopen for in-person dining Wednesday, March 5.

Van rides are expected to resume this week, too.

The center had been closed due to temporary staffing issues; John Waddington was hired last week as the new driver.

As of March 5, the center will be open Tuesdays through Fridays for in-person dining and van rides for senior citizens to medical appointments, shopping, the post office and other errands.

The center also is resuming meal deliveries for homebound seniors Tuesdays through Fridays, and will continue to offer to-go meals for seniors who want to pick up their lunches at the center.

Seniors are advised to call 24 hours in advance to reserve an in-person, pickup or delivery lunch, to help the staff plan for each day’s count.

Van rides also should be requested 24 hours in advance.

Call the center at 907-874-2066.
