Clergy Breakfast

On February 28, Aging Care Connections hosted an informational coffee for clergy leaders in our service area. The purpose of this meeting was to inform church leaders about the often critically--needed services our organization offers to seniors and their families. Partnership among community organizations is the best way to ensure that residents learn and take advantage of the helpful programs available to provide a safety net in times of crisis.
