St. Regis Senior Citizens Center becomes host of commodities program
At least 20 seasoned volunteers jumped in and made the inaugural food commodities program a smooth ride as the St. Regis Senior Citizens Center is now overseeing this vital program for the county.
“It’s going great!” beamed Dave Hannah, president of the St. Regis Senior Citizens Center. “These volunteers know what to do and they jump right in and do it. You can’t ask for better people.”
This was said on Wednesday, April 17 at 209 Lobo Loop around 9:45 a.m., as it was the first time that the food supplement program used the facility. Most locals refer to this program as simply "commodities," which is serviced by the Western Montana Area VI Agency on Aging in Polson and has been under the umbrella of the Mineral County Pioneer Council, until recently.
The SRSCC is the new host and moved everything across the road to their facility. Previously, the food distributions days have been at the St. Regis Community Center which has more elbow room. The new area is smaller but was laid out in a comparable pattern the way that everyone has been used to organizing and receiving over the years.
