Accept a donation of $20, 000 from Senior Home Delivered Meals

assist the County Home Delivered Meals Program in purchasing

Delivered Meals Program since 1991. This non-profit charitable
organization was formed in 1990 by a coalition of public

elders through the County Home Delivered Meals Program.
