DONATIONS
Under the Older Americans Act, all
persons who receive services are given an opportunity to
contribute to the cost of each particular program, whether
it is for meals, Benefit Specialist services, Outreach,
Information & Assistance, etc. Every contribution helps
these programs to continue serving older residents.
Individuals must decide what portion of
the cost they can contribute. Each person is encouraged to
contribute what they feel they can afford. However, if an
individual cannot contribute at any time, services will
still be provided. (back to top)
