Senior Life Resources’ new Fowler Street Campus will be complete in July.

The nonprofit organization, which operates Meals on Wheels in the Mid-Columbia, broke ground on the new Fowler Street facilities in Richland in November.

The campus has three physical addresses. The new administration building is at 1824 Fowler St., the kitchen and café is under construction at 1834 Fowler St., and the nonprofit has a third site at 1844 Fowler St., which is being saved for a future building.

Construction is already complete on the 6,120-sq.-ft. administration building, and the new 6,000-sq.-ft. commercial kitchen and café will be finished in July.

Nick Castorina, a Meals on Wheels’ volunteer, has volunteered his time as project manager for the construction project.

Don Pratt, the project’s general contractor, is also a Meals on Wheels’ volunteer driver.

Devi Tate, of Tate Architecture in Pasco, donated her services to design the building. Tate’s husband and son are also volunteer drivers.

Senior Life Resources’ mission is to preserve and enhance the quality of life at home for its clients with dignity and care. Its two major programs are designed to provide support and services that allow people to remain living in their own homes as long as possible. Home Care Services, one of SLR’s programs, serves more than 900 clients in eight Washington counties, with more than 600,000 hours of service annually. Mid-Columbia Meals on Wheels serves more than 157,000 meals each year to more than 1,700 clients in Benton and Franklin counties.

The administration offices are for the staff who run Home Care Services and Mid-Columbia Meals on Wheels. The commercial kitchen and café will be the central kitchen for the Meals on Wheels program, and the café will offer congregate dining.

Mid-Columbia Meals on Wheels plays a critical role in the nutrition of many people in the community through congregate dining sites or meals delivered directly to their homes. The Home Care Services program also services many people in the region who rely on the provider’s care and professional services so they can continue living safely and comfortably in their own homes.
