SALISBURY – Officials in Wicomico County agreed this week to provide nearly $36,000 in funding to maintain a senior nutrition program.
On Tuesday, the Wicomico County Council voted unanimously to transfer $35,566 from the county’s contingency fund to MAC Inc. Area Agency on Aging to maintain funding for its Senior Nutrition Services program.
“They represent four counties, and there was a funding shortage,” Assistant Director of Administration Weston Young told the council this week. “There was some conversation back in the spring about Wicomico covering the full amount and getting reimbursed from the three other counties, but this is purely for Wicomico County’s portion of this.”
MAC, which stands for Maintaining Active Citizens, serves seniors in Dorchester, Somerset, Wicomico and Worcester counties by providing services that preserve health and independence.

You can say it's for anything. Doesn't make true. Do they get thrown off welfare when they reach a certain age???

ReplyDeleteThis is a good program. It's not "welfare" as you wold normally think of it.. but it brings meals to seniors who can't get out for various reasons.
Maybe thy could transfer some of the funding being used to feed all the illegal aliens' kids at the schools and use it to help feed these senior citizens.
Just a thought.
MAC , one of the largest liberal left scams around , " the me too " supporters of the eastern shore.
