As another year draws to an end, the COA would like to extend our deepest gratitude to our community of generous donors and volunteers. Your support allows us to continue to provide programs and services that truly enhance the lives of our local seniors.

 

Socialization, nutrition, education, and physical fitness are all important to aging well. The COA aims to provide programs and services to incorporate all of these key fundamentals into the lives of our local seniors at an affordable rate, or in many cases, for free.

 

Each year we help hundreds of local seniors who don’t have access to healthy meals by offering free daily hot meals at three locations in Cass County. Each meal on average costs over $7.00 to prepare. Currently we are serving nearly 1,000 meals per week which includes our congregate meal sites as well as our home delivered meals program.

 

With over 13,000 seniors living in Cass County, our goal is to assist seniors with the ability to remain in their homes and to provide engaging programs to improve their lives. Here are a few of the programs and services that we offer.

Adult Day Service

In-home Care and Support

Today we embark on our Annual Campaign. Our goal is to raise $30,000 by December 31 to support the programs and services that help Cass County adults live longer, fuller lives, but we can’t do it without your help.

 

We ask you to join us in our efforts to help build a healthy and strong community by supporting our Annual Campaign. Please consider donating, your contribution will help keep these vital community resources available.
