We are here for our Seniors and are working our best to service needs as we work through this pandemic crisis. Our Meals on Wheels program will continue to deliver to the seniors in our programs, which do require registration, but we can walk you through all of that over the phone, so call us because we are here to help,” shared Kevin MacDonald, SCV Senior Center Executive Director.
