‘I’m mad as hell’: A closer look into how Sac County spent millions in taxpayer money for the Dine at Home program
Sacramento County’s Dine at Home pandemic program was designed to feed homebound seniors, all while supporting local businesses. It offered relief at a critical time, running from June 2020 to April 2021. With programs like Meals on Wheels on pause, Dine at Home was “a godsend” for seniors like Kristin Hart-Gerard, who was at special risk from contracting COVID-19. "Each delivery included a whole lot of fresh fruit. It also included either chicken, fish or beef, and sometimes it had like a casserole effect but just things with it," she said.
