Dear Governor Henry
State Capitol
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 73150
I was saddened and alarmed after being informed that the Department of Human Services is considering deep and unjustified budget cuts to the Senior Citizen Nutrition Center program.
The Nutrition Program is an essential part of the life style of many of Oklahoma’s Senior Citizens It brings to them healthful and nutritious meals. Many of the clients have no skills in food preparation or have no kitchen equipment to prepare meals let alone money for food stuffs.
The Nutrition Program provides the basic food groups that help senior citizens to maintain healthy bodies and avoid immune deficiencies.
Nutrition Program cutbacks will only lead to additional health and long term care costs for the elderly here in Oklahoma.
Please consider supporting full funding for the Nutrition Center Programs.
Best wishes,
James M. Fullerton
