DeKalb senior group wins $50,000 grant

Senior Connections, a nonprofit that serves senior citizens in DeKalb and Fulton counties, recently won a $50,000 grant for its programs that deliver hot meals to elderly in need and help those seniors raising minor children.

The Kaiser Permanente grant will pay for more than 15,000 meals the group prepares weekly and the more than 1,000 meals to be delivered to low-income seniors throughout metro Atlanta.

Senior Connections delivers more than 700,000 meals across the 10-county region every year. Other services include in-home care and classes and trips around the region.
