| Meals on Wheels Update & Pot Luck
| Susan Ashworth, Director of Community Relations of Home Healthcare, Hospice and Community Services, will meet with interested residents and pot-luckers on Thursday, April 7th, at 7:00 pm in the Melville Hall of the Nelson Congregational Church.
Susan will update the community on the progress of bringing "Meals on Wheels" to our neighborhood. While the budget situation for human services in New Hampshire has deteriorated considerably, the need for such a program steadily grows. Therefore, HHSC is currently working on proposals for services for next year, but the word from the Department of Health and Human Services is for less funding than last year for Meals On Wheels in the face of rising gas and food costs.
We invite you all to attend this special 1st Thursday Pot Luck Supper for April so that we can all put our heads together and come up with possible solutions. The Pot Luck begins at 6:30 pm.
