ALTON – In response to the ongoing government shutdown and the uncertainty surrounding SNAP benefits, Senior Services Plus will provide one free hot meal per day, Monday through Friday, from 7:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
Meals are available to SNAP recipients of any age as well as to unpaid or furloughed federal workers due to the government shutdown.
