Sacramento's restaurants make meals for low-income seniors

The city of Sacramento pays restaurants to prepare meal kits that last four or five days for 725 seniors living in low-income apartment complexes. The money comes from the City Attorney’s Justice for Neighbors program, which is funded by fines levied on properties that host nuisance businesses like drug or prostitution enterprises. The meals are being delivered to residents of Sacramento Housing and Redevelopment Agency apartment complexes by paratransit drivers. The total cost of the program is $174,000 for eight weeks.
