Message from the Washington Parish Council on Aging

Regular Congregate meal clients should be receiving 10 dinners delivered to their homes via FedEx

or UPS soon! There was a delay in the food provider being able to ship them when expected due to the large volume of orders received in the last week.

Homebound meals have continued as normal. Beginning Monday, March 30th, all regular Meals on Wheels clients will receive a two week supply of meals instead of the usual one week supply. We will not be delivering the week of April 6th.

We have provided an additional 500 emergency shelf stable meals to persons effected by the current stay at home order. Any senior needing assistance who is not currently receiving meals through our Congregate or Homebound programs can call (985)732-6869 and we will place your name on our list to receive emergency meals as soon as additional resources become available.

Our Franklinton Senior Center will be closed beginning Monday, March 30th until the Governor’s Executive order has been lifted. Anyone needing assistance can call the Bogalusa Senior Center at (985)732-6869. Someone will be available to assist you Monday-Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.

The Washington Parish Council on Aging is a public non-profit organization serving some of the most vulnerable and needy persons in our community. If you would like to make a donation to help provide meals to seniors during the COVID19 pandemic your donation is tax deductible and will be greatly appreciated!

Verse of the day- Philippians 4:19 And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.
