April is fundraising month. We will be asking for your help again to Adopt a Senior. Helping a senior citizen with meals is as simple as making a donation to the Senior Center. The cost to prepare one meal is $5.79, but GSAC offers them to seniors for a donation of $3.00. You can help by buying a meal for a senior for a day, week, or month. Donations can be mailed to P.O. Box 1467 in Gentry or dropped by the center any day between 9 am and 4 pm. Make sure no senior goes hungry
