Barb Knopp, a worker with the Prairie Five Senior Nutrition Program, left, dishes up lunch Friday at the Granite Falls Senior Citizens Center along with Pearl Hempel and Frank Kranitz, both of Granite Falls. Services for seniors in the Upper Minnesota River Valley, such as the congregate meal program, will continue as they have in the past year, but the Upper Minnesota River Valley Regional Development Commission will no longer have a role in their delivery. The lack of local involvement is a concern for some, who point out the importance of familiarity with local seniors and providers, especially at a time of economic difficulty.
