Lawrence seniors savor hot meals as DCSS delivers hope
Kim Wittman of Douglas County Senior Services notes many clients rely on the program for their only hot balanced meal daily. DCSS delivers five days a week to homes and runs six meal sites across Douglas County, serving about 65,000 meals a year since 1965. The program depends on Older Americans Act funding and could face fewer meals next year amid state budget cuts reducing general funds for nutrition programs.

About half read the school newspaper but did nonrelated work, and active students saw peers copy their work. A coalition of business owners, managers, educators and residents formed Character Development Advocacy of Douglas County to combat the attitude.
