An anonymous Emporia donor has helped the Area Agency on Aging buy a new van for food transport.
Pam Gordon of the agency offices in Manhattan said Friday that the donor had given $17,000 for the van used to deliver meals to the elderly.
The food is picked up in Ottawa, brought to Emporia, and then redistributed to senior centers in Lyon County.
“Our old van has nearly 200,000 miles on it and it’s dying a slow death,” Gordon said. “We’re just very, very excited and very, very grateful.”
