Beginning in August, the program will be providing food prepared at Buttertarts 'N More family restaurant, the agency announced in a press release.
The hot meals are delivered to Mariposa area residents on Mondays and Wednesdays throughout the year, including holidays. "We are delighted with the arrangement with Buttertarts 'N More," said program manager Linda McLean. "(Restaurant partners) Linda Moss and John Lenneville have been very co-operative to work with and we are looking forward to being able to offer our current and future clients a good meal."
