Meals-On-Wheels "Meals on Wheels delivers more than just nutritious food to its many clients across the country. Its representatives are often the only social contact for isolated seniors" (Mike Cuthbert , Prime Time Radio) The above quote is from an article written by Mike Cuthbert of Prime Time Radio. The Meals-On-Wheels program does more than deliver healthy meals to home bound seniors in our community. Want to find out more about the Meals-On-Wheels program? AARP Radio had an interesting program which covers all aspects of the program across the U.S. . Click here to access the radio program and learn about its importance. The program is 23 minutes in length but it is well worth your time to listen. The program describes the people who perform this valuable service, the typical client who uses the service, and the companies who support this valuable service, and addresses the importance of inter-generational interaction between the young and the elderly. After listening to this program did it encourage you to want to make a difference in people's lives? Do you want to give back to the community? Then become involved. You can support this program financially by making a donation to Senior Resources of Broomfield Inc. or by volunteering as a driver for the Meals-On-Wheels program. For more information on how you can help, contact the Broomfield Community Center at 303-464-5526. |

According to the BizBuzz Colorado web site - "We can help you find the most trusted businesses and professionals in your neighborhood. BizBuzzColorado takes the guesswork out of choosing a local business because you can read reviews and ratings from other consumers. You can also post your own reviews of businesses in your community -- good, bad, or average. " According

and talk about what's great - and not so great - in your area." |

Discounts for Seniors Many stores offer discounts for seniors, but do not advertise this fact. Following is a listing of stores and the discounts they offer. It is always a good idea to ask before hand, as in some cases senior discount policies may be temporarily in place or may have expired. Remember, always ask. Many stores will provide discounts but do not offer them outright. Your help to build this list is appreciated, so if you know of any other discounts offered to seniors please send us an e-mail by clicking on this link. There is also a clip board located at the Broomfield Community Center. |
