The Killeen Meals on Wheels program is partnering with the Hill Country Community Action Agency (HCCAA) to provide meals to income-eligible seniors. The program serves over 300 clients every year.
The council has authorized an award through the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) for HCCAA totaling nearly $200,000.00 for the Meals on Wheels project — the money will be used to purchase kitchen equipment.
