Volunteer drivers are needed now for Monday-Friday Meals on Wheels deliveries. The route starts about 10:30 a.m. and takes about an hour. Pick your day or days to deliver; substitutes are welcome as well.

Please save sturdy plastic bags for us. We use 600 bags every two months for commodity food distributions. We need to purchase these if they are not provided by donation.

Thanks for all the fresh meat and produce that is being donated to the center. Your harvest helps feed the hungry.

Activities at the Polson center, open to all, include: low-impact exercise, 10:30-11:30 a.m. Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays; pinochle, noon-3 p.m. Thursdays (free cookies, coffee and fun); bingo, 7 p.m. Fridays ($100 payout on blackouts), with playing card bingo on the first and third Wednesdays. The pool table is open 8 a.m.-3 p.m. weekdays. Mahjong players gather at noon Wednesdays (great brain exercise).

A veteran’s representative will visit the center from 10 a.m.-noon Tuesday, July 18.

Meals are available for sit-down, take-out or delivery from 11:45 a.m.-12:30 p.m. weekdays and cost $5. The menu is posted each week at the center; call before 10 a.m. for deliveries.

Upcoming main dishes include pork tips on pasta, July 13; crispy chicken sandwich, July 14; chicken noodle soup, July 17; chef’s salad, July 19; meatloaf, July 20; and hash-brown bake with sausage, July 21.

The center is open from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. weekdays at 504 3rd Ave. E. For more information, call 406-883-4735 or email polsonseniorcenter@gmail.com. Submit your email address for updates and additional information from the center.
