Jointly To Provide Food, Shelter
agency wilh the Hotels/Motels In
Partnership and Restaurants in
Partnership programs. This coalition
on a national level offers donated
restaurant meals and motel lodging
to those in emergency need where
no other community services are
available or appropriate.
Pete Barncttc, VIC executive di
rector, said, "Both programs involve
private sector initiatives and partner
ship efforts among business and so
cial service agencies-in our case,
VIC.
"Our agency will utilize the do
nated resources to house and feed
people. We feel this is a natural ad
junct to our current services, the dis
tribution of emergency food."
The way the program works is
that a motel sets aside a ccrtain
number of room nights per year for
the program.
"VIC would direct someone to
that motel for a maximum stay of
three nights per person," Barncttc
said. "Restaurants would offer a cer
tain number of meals and VIC,
again, would send people needing
this help to the restaurant."
Program Discusses
No maucr how good they arc, 60
years of living take a toll.
Our appearance, our attitudes and
opinions, our feelings, our health,
our actions and our responses-all
change as we age. What are those
changes and how do they affect lov
ing and sexuality?
Wilmington geriatrician Mary
O'Brien, M.D., talks about "Love
and Sex After Sixty" at 7:30 p.m.
May 18 as part of The Good Life.
The program will be held in the au
ditorium of the Area Health Edu
cation Center at New Hanover Reg
ional Medical Center and is free and
open to the public.
"You never get too old for love
and sex," Dr. O'Brien said, "but you
do need to recognize the changes
that aging effects."
Arthritis, diabetes, heart disease
and other illnesses affect older peo
BamcUc said thai the present ser
vice VIC provides assists people
who have access to cooking facili
ties, so they can make use of rice
and other foods that require kitchen
preparation.
"People living in their cars or on
the beach or in the woods can't use
these foods and need something al
ready cooked," he said.
Only one motel in the county to
date has signed on to the program,
but he hopes others will follow suit.
"These donated services are char
itable contributions, so they would
have a tax value for the business,"
he added.
At the end of 1991 there were 360
local social service agencies-such as
housing authorities, social service
agencies. Salvation Army, YWCAs
and VICs- serving as clearinghous
es nationwide to coordinate the part
nership programs in 345 communi
ties nationwide.
There were also 822 hotels and
motels participating, and of that
number 537 actually housed people
in emergency need through the part
nership.
Love, Sex After 60
pic more often, O'Brien said, and
the body physically changes as you
age, affecting sexuality.
The doctor will discuss the nor
mal changes of aging and the effects
of lifestyle and illness on sexuality
and will offer suggestions on how to
understand the needs of the opposite
sex.
The Good Life is sponsored by
NHRMC and AHEC, with programs
offered the third Monday night of
each month September through
May.
