John said the Ware Senior Center cannot raise funds independently because it is municipally owned, so a separate 501(c)(3), Friends of Ware Seniors, raises funds for programs and runs a thrift store whose proceeds support the meals program and activities. Staff described how thrift-store revenue helps cover meal program shortfalls and other costs.
The board is actively recruiting volunteers, particularly targeting younger volunteers and those willing to work front desk shifts; volunteers will be trained as needed. John noted one volunteer referral from RSVP and highlighted the "positive contributions of a volunteer named Deb."
