Facing financial strain, Ukiah Senior Center cuts back on programs and services

WITH EXPENSES EXCEEDING INCOME, the doors of the Ukiah Senior Center will no longer be open on Fridays, reducing free food distribution, daily activities, lunches and a multitude of services and activities to four days a week.

“This is a huge deal and we made this decision very reluctantly,” said Executive Director Liz Dorsey, “but with monthly expenditures running at about $90,000, we have a regular deficit of about $15,000 per month.”
