Dinner time

Brother and sister Nick and Becky Heilman serve fruit cups during a ham-hock-and-bean soup dinner to members at the Grand Coulee Dam Senior Center Tuesday. Their mother, Chay, is the head cook there. The GCD Senior Meals program is open to everyone, with no membership required. Dinner is served Tuesday through Thursday at 5 p.m., and breakfast served Monday through Friday from 8 to 10 a.m. A recommended donation of $3.50 for senior citizens, or $6.50 for everyone else, buys a full meal. It's recommended to call by noon if you'd like dinner so the cooks know how many desserts to prepare. Donations for the meals fund a third of the cost of the program, while the Aging and Adult Care of Central Washington funds another third. The rest is funded by local area churches and other outside donations. - Jacob Wagner photo
