CHAMPSS Offers Expanded Senior Meal Program in Douglas County
Positive change arrives as CHAMPSS replaces congregate meals with a debit card system for residents aged 60 and older and their spouses. After Oct 1, participation rose from 489 to 656 as Dillons joined, with plans to expand to Baker University and Eudora. Home delivery is available for those six miles from a site, and the program aims to offer more menu choices and flexible dining while allowing DCSS to reallocate resources to other projects.
