Ninety of those meals are funded by United Way. Those UW funds are getting cut, raising the real possibility that 15 elderly people out of those 90 may go hungry. The United Way shortfall is not a matter of removing dessert from the menu. It means not serving entire meals to 15 real people. It is a thought that Gail Cross, executive director of Senior Services, cannot bear.
Food costs money.
It has to come from somewhere. Faith and food are not mutually exclusive. In fact, for Cross, they go together on the same menu. I haven't driven the last couple of years. And I don't have all the friends I used to.
