My name is Juliane McAdam, and I represent Senior Nutrition Program/Meals That Connect. We want to thank the City
of San Luis Obispo and the Human Relations Commision for their support of our program and the other nonprofits doing
such needed work in our community. This past year has put strain on all of these programs, ours included. We had to
stop serving congregate meals at the Anderson Hotel and instead deliver meals to all of our clients, and the number of
people asking for our program grew. This incurred not only extra expense but the need to find new volunteers to deliver
these extra meals. We grew from 5 delivery routes in the city of SLO to 12. With the pandemic restrictions easing in our
county, we look forward to resuming our normal program, but we still face extra costs. We are determined to continue
to meet the needs of our county's seniors and help assure their healthy aging. Again, we are most grateful for the
ongoing support of the City of San Luis Obispo.
