The Probation Department will continue to prepare and package the meals at the Juvenile Detention Facility for delivery to the MOW congregate sites in Red Bluff and Corning and for delivery to homebound seniors. The Probation Department will manage food supply and maintain their facility to meet nutritional and regulatory guidelines, and MOW staff will deliver the food and maintain correspondence with the public, seniors in the program, and congregate sites.
