| Project Description: |
| The JCS Senior Meals Program is the only Kosher provider of homebound meals in Miami-Dade County. Due to extraordinary increases in expenses related to the production of our meals and the stagnant funding of OAA, we have had to eliminate nearly 150 people from our roster of more than 1,200 homebound meals participants. Many of these clients have no place else to turn, have no family and now - will have no food deliveries. |
| |
| Is this a project related to 2004 hurricane damage? |
No |
| |
| Measurable Outcome Anticipated: |
| The Senior Meals Program will provide 39,600 meals to clients who will have to be taken off the meals program due to funding shortages in our OAA budget. |
