With the recent news that Wyoming will be eliminating funding for programs that serve seniors citizens, Golden Hour Senior Center needs the community’s help. The funding is being eliminated due to the first round of budget cuts caused by the novel coronavirus.
The center will host a drive through fundraiser in hopes to receiving funding to continue the center’s services. During the pandemic, the center has has served over 20,000 meals to seniors in the Green River area. The center has also been providing daily activities, outreach and opportunities to combat social isolation.
The staff of the center encourages people to drive into the parking lot and make a donation. Along with making donations, staff members encourage the community to contact their local representatives and let them know how important the center is.
During this event seniors will drive through to pick up goodie bags as well as an evening meal. Seniors must call the center if they are interested in attending. The event will take place Sept. 17 from 4:40-7 p.m.
