The population of older adults is quickly growing, and it’s important that we have services and programs to assist this population.  According to a report from the Census Bureau in 2014, “20% of the U.S. population will be age 65 or over by the year 2030.”  Please help us help make a difference in the lives of older individuals in 40 counties throughout Ohio.
