Trigg Seniors Continuing To Raise Money For Center

The Trigg County Seniors Center has raised around 65% of the money needed to keep the center open under normal operations.

Center Director Cissy Lawrence announced the latest fundraising total during lunch Monday morning.

Lawrence adds they raised over $4,000 during their gospel concert at Canton Baptist Church Saturday night, but donations have continued to pour in from numerous members of the community.

The Trigg County Fiscal Court voted to help pay the rest of the costs for the center during a meeting last month.

Alexander adds the center has another need but assured everyone they will help to meet that need.

Pennyrile Allied Community Services announced major budget cuts to all nine centers they operate late last year. The Trigg County center was facing around $49,000 in cuts and the original plan was to cook daily meals at the Christian County Senior Center and have the meals bussed over to the center in Cadiz. With all the money raised, everything will stay under normal operation at the center for the rest of the year.
