Brownfield Senior Center safe, despite funding strains
Brownfield's Senior Citizens Center faces financial stress with fixed monthly costs around 6000 dollars and a remaining 3030 dollars after expenses. SPAG provides 80 percent of funding but cannot supply emergency funds, leaving local donations critical though currently low. The center offers meals, home delivery, transportation, activities, health services, and aims to stay open to serve about 30 onsite meals daily.
