What is the entity's public purpose, sought to be achieved through the use of state monies?
          It would be to provide more meals to seniors who live the very rural part of Webster Parish. We are to the max on meals right now with 25 seniors on a waiting list. Our homemaker program is a service where we send in someone to clean a seniors home for 1 hour for one day a week. Our people are trained to get in and get out and move to the next one. These programs keep seniors out of the nursing home where care cost many more, most are on medicaid and care cost about 5000.

What are the goals and objectives for achieving such purpose?
          Our goal is to provide meals to our seniors to get them off of the waiting list. They will be healthier and happy living in their homes instead of being placed in a nursing home. The homemaker program goal would be to provide more services to individuals needing help with their household duties. These services save the state more by providing the funds to serve seniors who will be healthier and happier living in their homes.

What is the proposed length of time estimated by the entity to accomplish the purpose?
           Annually.
