Stoltzenburg said: "Community Action provides thousands of meals
and rides each year to seniors. While we have partial funding from
the Area Agency on Aging for Lincolnland and are fortunate to
receive Logan County senior tax moneys, we are challenged each year
to meet the financial demands of the program. Contributions like the
one from the Elks Charitable Trust Fund make it possible for us to
continue these services.
"Transportation services provide access to medical appointments
and improve the quality of life for seniors living right here in our
community. Oftentimes, the volunteers and staff who deliver meals to
seniors are their only visitors. These programs truly make a
difference.
"As Community Action celebrates the holiday season this year, we
are thankful for the generosity of those who support our work in
serving those in need. Thank you again to the Elks Charitable Trust
Fund."
