MEMORANDUM
Vk TO: Rick Koch, City Manager
FROM: Rachael Craig, Senior Center Director
DATE: September 11, 2013
REFERENCE: Senior Connection, Inc. Donation of Meals Van
This MEMO is in reference to the Resolution where the City of Kenai accepts the Meals on
Wheels Van from Kenai Senior Connection, Inc.
On January 25, 2013, Senior Connection, Inc. voted unanimously to purchase a meals van with
the funds raised at the "March for Meals" fundraiser held on March 22, 2013. Kenai Senior
Connection, Inc. raised $22,000 during the "March for Meals" annual fundraiser. The cost of the
van was $22, 413.00; this included license, wording painted on the van and the vehicle.
Currently, we have 80 home meal clients that we serve daily. The new vehicle donated by Kenai
Senior Connection, Inc., will allow the Senior Center to split the current meal route into two
routes. Having two routes will provide more efficiency and meals will be delivered in a more
timely fashion.
