Lawrence senior citizens can find a hearty meal around lunchtime at the Douglas County Senior Services building, 745 Vt.
The meal is served around noon Monday through Friday, and the center encourages seniors to pay $2.75, but “if you do not have $2.75, pay what you can,” said Senior Meals Manager Kim Wittman.
Seniors must be at least 60 and be able to verify their age.
Seniors also must call in a day before to ensure they receive a meal because Senior Meals prepares meals for only those who have a reservation.
“If you are homebound, we offer a delivery system for the same price,” Wittman said.
Homebound means a senior cannot drive and depends on somebody else for the majority of their day.
Wittman added that Senior Meals also provides a Grab & Go carryout system for those who are in a hurry.
“Just make sure you call in a day in advance no matter what meal service you want,” Wittman said.
Wittman can be reached at 842-0543.

One is compelled to wonder if the "Senior Center" is first snarfing up the day old bread that is donated to the Center......and if they're smart enuff to snarf up first the whole grain bread?
Lawrence Senior Center needs re-inventing. We're under heavy manners......

Can't you just see the new influx of retirees coming from Santa Barbara CA to Lawrence and grabbing a Grab & Go for those in a hurry.I thought seniors had all the time in the world. Who would go to the Senior Center , get a Grab and Go, and make a reservation a day before and the drive to the place to get a lunch.
Makes no sense to me.Wouldn't it make more sense for the seniors to have a meal together and plan their trips to Europe and Vinland ?

"Seniors must be at least 60 and be able to verify their age."
This is just an attempt from Mr. Kobach to prevent seniors from eating. Requiring old people to provide their birth certificate or drivers licenses is RACIST!!!

Besides those big name movie stars, I haven't yet met a sixty year old who looks like a twenty year old.

$ 2.75 is not low cost to me. I am 65 and on social security.

Hmmm, Where can one get a Grab and Go lunch for $2.75 downtown. This looks like a win win the more I see it with oneeye. I wonder what choice of bread one can have with the swiss cheese and ham sandwhich?
Let's see at $2.75 a day for lunch times 5 that's 13.75 a week((weekdays only) and then LINK on Sunday for free.
I am now up to $54.00 a month deducted from $1,000 social security leaves just enough money to buy gas and go the fancy home in Scottsdale that was purchased with exorbitant rents from virtual rentals. Everyone knows that wilbur owns no rentals in Lawrence, so go figure.
The next place to purchase property is Durango Colorado and maybe even Valdez CO.
Where do we find the menu for the Grab and Go? If I get the lunch, I can leave Lawrence around 2pm after picking up Alceste the other Oread Slumlord who has joined the ranks of the Lawrence Kansas Slumlord Landlord Association, which by the way has so many members that they can hardly fit into Perkins anymore. It's really just an eat and sit venue or sit and eat venue. But either way the slumlords(even virtual property owners) are fat, rich and like $2.75 lunches. Cheaper than Perkins
