Plans in motion to help Alpena’s Meals On Wheels program

ALPENA, Mich. – The finance committee of the Alpena County Board of Commissioners met early Wednesday via zoom where they voted to approve a transfer of funds that will help the seniors of Alpena.

The committee discussed moving forward with plans to transfer eight thousand dollars of the Older Persons Millage funds to the Senior Center from general funding to Meals on Wheels.

The funds will help the Senior Center purchase a new all wheel drive vehicle for the program.
the Chairman of the Older Persons Committee discussed why it was so important.

“They’ll just concentrate on using that one all wheel drive vehicle on county roads during snowy conditions or icy conditions like has been fore mentioned,” said Older Person’s Chairman Craig Zelazny.

Once finalized, the funds to help with the purchase will come out of the county’s 2020 budget.
