LCCOA invites community to support meals, connection, independence for older neighbors

TROY — The Lincoln County Commissioners recently signed a proclamation recognizing November as Embrace A Senior Month, and the Lincoln County Council on Aging (LCCOA) is inviting residents, businesses, churches, and community organizations to turn that recognition into action. With the message “Give a meal. Share connection. Show you care,” LCCOA’s November campaign encourages the community to help older neighbors stay nourished, connected, and independent. Since 1978, LCCOA has served Lincoln County through its meals program and community center. Home-delivered meals help neighbors who face challenges preparing food safely, while meals and activities at the center give people opportunities to build friendships, stay involved, and enjoy time together. According to LCCOA Growth Coordinator Lindsey Kelley, for someone who is homebound, a meal delivery also brings a friendly greeting and a connection to the community.
