Senior Services Plus provides Meals On Wheels and Transportation services to over 600 seniors daily in Madison & St. Clair counties. This event helps raise funds and awareness for these need programs for seniors. Without these services many of the seniors served would not be able to remain living independently, and would need another type of assistance.
