lives is the work of BBNA's Elderly Services Program. Meals,

Meal
Service |
 |
BBNA
provides congregate and home delivered meals to individuals 60
or older, or who are disabled. The meals are free thanks to
grants from the Alaska Commission
on Aging and the US
Administration on Aging. Since the meals are prepared
and served in village schools*, we are only able to provide meals
during the school year.
* Newhalen's meal service in is provided at
the Newhalen Head Start. |
