The Friendship Center has been closed since March 12 and is looking for a possible re-opening in mid-July. The center continues to reach out to its seniors with telephone conference call bingo 2x each week and the Grab and Go Meals.
The center is also receiving coupons for the farmer’s market. This is a program provided by the State of Nebraska, giving seniors an opportunity to purchase fresh produce from Farmer Markets.
