LARNED – While the kitchen at the Welcome Inn Senior Center is closed, the delivery of Friendship Meals to Larned residents will continue, noted Marilyn Bell, director of transportation services and Friendship Meals in the community.
Last Friday, Bell announced that the Welcome Inn’s kitchen would remain closed until further notice due to plumbing issues.
A local plumber was immediately contacted to assess the situation and begin repairs. “We’re hoping to have the issue resolved by next week, but at this point there’s really no way of knowing,” Bell said.
The Welcome Inn provides daily meals for over 50 local Larned residents. Meanwhile, delivery continues with meals prepared by the Great Bend Senior Center Friendship Meals kitchen.
“We’re really grateful to Great Bend for their help,” Bell said.
The Welcome Inn’s office remains open, although the kitchen is currently closed, Bell noted. This also includes the regular meal service.
In the meantime, residents can still arrange transportation needs and register for meal delivery by contacting the Welcome Inn during office hours from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. at 620-285-3504.
