Senior center meal deliveries go on despite kitchen damage

St. Mary Council on Aging Director Beverly Domengeaux joked that she blew her top and the roof caved in. Half of that is true.
Domengeaux told the St. Mary Parish Council on Wednesday that meal deliveries to Morgan City seniors are continuing despite a ceiling collapse in the kitchen of the senior center on Third Street.
And, she said, the H&B Young Foundation has stepped up to fund the building of a new senior center.
“We will have a new place in Morgan City that will be owned by our seniors,” Domengeaux said.
The collapse happened during the Fourth of July weekend. Deliveries continue with sealed meals that don’t require preparation in the kitchen.
Domengeaux said she is due to talk with the Louisiana Department of Health on Monday.
The council delivers up to 140 meals to Morgan City seniors each day.
