Buckham West Faribault (formerly known as the Senior Center) has announced an adjustment of their activities due to Governor Walz's latest Executive Order.

Executive Director Mona Kaiser pointed out in a recent communication to members of Buckham West, "As we have had to do earlier in the year, we again must adjust our schedule in order to comply with the new state mandate as it relates to the COVID-19 pandemic."

"Keeping our members and staff safe is our #1 priority and so the following schedule adjustments are being made." Kasier says.

  • Coffee Shop- closed to the public until furthur notice.
  • Foot Clinic- these appointments will continue as scheduled.
  • Curbside and Meals on Wheels Food Programs-will continue as always.
