Some 4 state area senior lunches closed by government shutdown

Government shutdown hitting senior lunches in the 4 states.

Charlotte Foust with the Joplin Area Agency on Aging tells Newstalk KZRG:

“Starting on Monday, October 27th, we will be stopping meal services at four of our six senior centers. The City of Neosho is going to continue funding the meals at our Neosho Senior center through November 7th. And then we have some private donors who will be funding the meals out of our Barton County Senior center through Nov. 14. But that leaves Joplin, Webb City, Carl Junction, and Carthage without lunch in those centers for the indefinite future.”
