The Council on Aging will use these funds to continue providing meals to 350+ homebound older adults as well as cases of liquid nutrition to 70 individuals with compromised medical conditions in Henderson County. In addition, increasing requests for home delivered meals have been received in the past weeks from residents in Henderson County who fear leaving their homes to shop. The Council on Aging is working on a plan to increase delivery service to include these older adults in need.
These funds will help to replace the loss of revenues experienced over the next few months from the Council on Aging’s two thrift stores located in Hendersonville and Etowah being closed due to COVID-19.
