The City of Foster City has announced that the Senior Express door-to-door service and monthly senior Lunch Bunch Program will be reinstated for one year (July 1, 2011- June 30, 2012). The City of Foster City received a generous, anonymous donation for $30,000 to pay for the costs of the program which will continue to run in its entirety.

At the June 6, 2011 City Council meeting, City Council voted to accept the donation and directed staff to reinstate the program.
