Forty-two years ago, Mary Forcade had a vision - to build a senior citizen center serving the Graham, Maitland and Skidmore communities.
Along with other visionaries such as Betty Nelson, Clarice Damewood, Marie Lyle, Harriet Burchett, Kenny Westeon, C.E. Linville Jr. and many other members of the community, this vision became a reality.
The first dishes were served on November 24, 1975 from the American Legion building in Maitland.
Meals were provided three days a week in the community in Maitland, and home meals were delivered to people aged 60 years and over in Graham, Maitland and Skidmore.
The food is made at the Maitland Cafe.
Later, the Nutrition Site moved across the street to the McIntyre Building and meals were offered 5 days a week.
At that time, food was made in the city of Mound and transported to Maitland.
On May 10, 1978, a group of elders from Graham, Maitland, and Skidmore met in order to incorporate themselves.
The officially chosen name was "Tri-City Senior Council of Holt County Nutrition Site 11A".
On August 12, 1978, officers of the corporation met with Mr. and Mrs. Campbell Collins to purchase the Bohart building.
After this deal was completed, the north portion of the building was leased to Betty Massengale for a restaurant.
The south side housed the Nutrition Site.
Thanks to the tireless dedication of community members and volunteers, the nutrition site continues to thrive today.
More than 16,000 meals were served last year alone.
