FITCHBURG BUSINESSES STEP UP TO SUPPORT SENIOR CENTER’S MEAL PROGRAM
Little John’s had ended contract to provide meals.
Fitchburg, WI – Jan 30, 2023 – Since January 23rd, when Little John’s Community Kitchen abruptly ended its contract to provide meals for Dane County’s older adults, local Fitchburg businesses have graciously committed to provide almost 70 meals per day through the Fitchburg Senior Center. The meals are intended for residents enrolled in the meals on wheels program and those who dine at the senior center.
The Great Dane, 2980 Cahill Main; Thirsty Goat, 3040 Cahill Main; Benvenuto’s, 2949 Triverton Pike Dr; Kwik Trip, 2792 S Syene Rd; and Oasis Café, 2690 Research Park Dr, have agreed to provide hot food over the next few weeks until a more permanent solution can be found. These businesses will be reimbursed through Dane County, Fitchburg Senior Center funds and donations.
“I guess you could say the silver lining in the dark cloud is in the generosity of so many,” says Jill McHone, Director of the Fitchburg Senior Center. These businesses truly share our commitment to provide nutritious meals to those in need. We are forever grateful.”
