Rounding out the month, we will host Alison Dvorak from Senior Resources Agency on Aging to talk about their organization, who they are and the services they provide. Some of the services Senior Resources provides include being advocates for seniors and the disabled with our legislature; they also are the organization that negotiates the food contract with our food vendors providing congregate and homebound meals. They do a whole lot more than that, so come on down to hear more about them!
