Senior Meals Saved by Community | Tucson News

A senior meal program in Flowing Wells, nearly shuttered last summer due to funding cuts, has been saved thanks to a $45,000 boost that will keep it running through next year. Founded in 2007 and serving meals three times weekly, this vital community lifeline was revived by founder Ellie Towne—almost 90 and fiercely committed—to ensure seniors stay nourished and connected. With renewed momentum, the team is already eyeing long-term funding to keep the service going beyond 2025, proving that when communities rally, essential programs thrive.
