The DeWitt County Friendship Center keeps the community's seniors active through daily activities and several trips out of town per month but they rely on partnerships with other entities for transportation.

Friendship Center Executive Director Paula Jiles indicates they are currently saving money to purchase their own van and have about $7,000 saved.

Tonight, the community is welcomed out for the Friendship Center's chili and vegetable soup. Jiles indicates the funds raised from that will continue to build up their fund for their van.

Jiles indicates they do have to-go boxes for tonight's chili and vegetable soup fundraiser that is from 5 pm to 7 pm at the Friendship Center at 410 East Main Street in Clinton.
