MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Gabriel and Council Members
THROUGH: Terry Eubank, City Manager
FROM: Kathy Romain, Senior Center Director
DATE: August 8, 2024
SUBJECT: Ordinance No. 3430-2024 - Accepting and Appropriating a Meals on
Wheels of America Grant in Partnership with DoorDash for the Kenai
Senior Center Meals on Wheels Delivery Program.
Meals on Wheels Association of America, in collaboration with DoorDash, has launched Project
DASH, a pilot program aimed at enhancing meal transportations services for seniors. This
initiative is designed to support local meal programs by providing delivery options through
DoorDash for a limited period.
The Kenai Senior Center was invited to apply for this grant and staff successfully secured a $2,500
grant. This funding will allow us to deliver 500 meals to seniors in our community by December
31, 2024, using DoorDash services.
We are grateful for this opportunity to enhance our support for seniors through this innovative
partnership.
Thank you for your consideration.
