Central Plains Area Agency on Aging Transitioning Services Provided by Everfull Jan. 1, 2026

(Sedgwick County, Kan.) – The Central Plains Area Agency on Aging (CPAAA) will transition services provided by Everfull, including Friendship Meals and Meals on Wheels programs, to a new provider in 2026. While Everfull has made the decision to end services, CPAAA remains committed to providing services for older adults in the community, including Friendship Meals and Meals on Wheels programs.

Everfull has provided nearly 11,000 meals per month in Butler, Harvey and Sedgwick counties since 2017 for the Friendship Meals and Meals on Wheels programs. Due to funding projections ahead of fiscal year 2025-2026, Everfull’s Board of Directors made the decision to exit as a provider for the Friendship Meals and Meals on Wheels programs Dec. 31, 2025. CPAAA and Everfull have proactively begun the process of transitioning operations to minimize impact on communities and participants.

“CPAAA is thankful for the hard work and partnership with Everfull staff and Board of Directors since 2017. CPAAA is grateful for Everfull’s commitment to fulfill services through the end of 2025 and for their assistance and execution of this important transition,” CPAAA Executive Director Stephen Shaughnessy said. “CPAAA remains committed to providing essential services to ensure the health, nutrition and overall well-being of older adults in our communities.”

“Everfull is aware of how critical the services we provide are to our participants and communities,” said Charles Johnston, Executive Director of Everfull. “Our priority is making sure that our participants continue to receive the services without any disruptions while we work to execute a transition. Everfull is thankful to CPAAA for their years of partnership and for helping our mission of ensuring continuity of service.”

Everfull will continue to provide its services through Dec. 31, 2025, in Butler, Harvey and Sedgwick counties.
