Bayer donates equipment to senior center

Last week, the Caribou Senior Center received an unexpected donation, that should help immensely with its hundreds of weekly meals made for in-house dining and delivery.  The center is at the heart of support services for seniors (and many other members of the community), and the kitchen is the workhorse of the operation.  Warm meals—served in a safe environment where visitors are able to socialize, communicate, and check in with their friends—are one of the most important ways to keep communities strong as time moves along.

Bayer has been an important source of support for the Senior Center over the years, and as Jim McCulloch explains, in this case they were able to connect to a very useful person for a much needed item.

“The Senior Center recently replaced one of its industrial kitchen mixers,” McCulloch said. “It was too big for the previous table so had to be placed on the floor.  Bayer stepped up and paid Jeff Harris with J Harris Enterprises to fabricate a new stand that brought the mixer up to a more ergonomic working height.  The center thanks Bayer for helping make out county a better place for out senior citizens with this and so many other donations!”

The Senior Center provides in-house dining on Wednesdays and Fridays, as well as in-home delivery.  For questions about events, meals, or other services, you can call the center directly at (208) 547-3007.  Thank you to Bayer for stepping up to help a critical community resource.
