July 25, 2024 – Five lovely volunteers from the Paris Junior College Nursing Program arrived at the Senior Center bright and early Thursday morning. They cheerfully went to work on ‘Project Chicken’.

The PJC students are required to perform community service hours as part of their academic program. Meal-A-Day is grateful they chose to give back here in Sulphur Springs. Their service was exceptionally well timed as a sizeable donation of raw chicken was made this week.
Meal-A-Day received a large donation of fresh chicken this week. To make sure the donation would not be wasted, MAD volunteers have cooked and processed birds every day. The windfall has either been served for lunch, or deboned for later use. By Friday the refrigerator and freezer will be back to normal.

Meal-A-Day director Amanda Dietlin is working with her crew to make sure clients don’t get tired of chicken. They are reviewing the menus, and making changes to keep things a fresh as possible. Seniors can expect chicken in their lunches frequently until room is made in the refrigerator. Frozen birds will be kept for meals later in the year.
