MECOSTA COUNTY — Would you like the opportunity to support seniors in Mecosta County but not sure how?
The Mecosta County Commission on Aging invites the public to come show their support at Community Giving Day. From 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 30, volunteers will be available to answer questions at Big Rapids Eagles at 18361 16 Mile Road in Big Rapids.
The Mecosta County Commission on Aging provides many services to area seniors including Meals on Wheels, home maker aides, respite aides, medical transportation and a senior center for socializing. A lunch room, open to seniors as well as the general public, provides a safe atmosphere for seniors to visit with friends while receiving a meal for a suggested donation of just $3. A new “Tablet for Seniors” program was announced to combat isolation so that seniors can remain connected to family and friends.
These services are vital for seniors in their attempts to remain independent, healthy and able to visit with friends.
“We want to keep this center vibrant and relevant for seniors but funding is scarce," said Cynthia Mallory, director of the Commission on Aging. "We were not able to hold many of the fundraisers that we used to, including the annual Yard Sale which brings out hundreds of people. Community Day is one more event that we hope supporters will attend.”
For more information on how to get involved with either giving or receiving for this program, contact the Activity Center at 231-972-2884. You may also give online at mecostacounty.org/mccoa or scan the QR code in the photo above.
Community Giving Day will be held from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 30, at Big Rapids Eagles, at 18361 16 Mile Road in Big Rapids, and streamed live at facebook.com/mecostacountygivingday. To donate online, visit communitygivingday.org and scroll down to find participating nonprofits.
