Senior Lunch Bunch Program Fees and Funding
Summary
The city's free monthly senior lunch program costs $22,000–$24,000 a year against a $9,000 budget line, and 70% of participants are non-residents. A new $3 resident / $5 non-resident fee starting April aims to cut no-shows and free seats for waitlisted seniors, with scholarships for seniors who can't pay.
