The Age Friendly Oronoco committee looking to meet the need for the community
The Age Friendly committee held a resource fair to help their aging community.
People were invited to the School House Events center to learn more about the resources that are provided to them.
(ABC 6 News) – The Age Friendly committee held a resource fair Wednesday to help connect the aging community to social services that are available in the Oronoco area.
“We put surveys out for our residents and then we did surveys of all of the different agencies that were available to them and found out that there is a need,” committee member Joy Bertsinger said.
From housing to transportation, the fair at the School House Events center was a one stop shop for the older population to connect with a wide array of different services.
As for what’s next for the committee, it’s looking for feedback from residents to help it form a community based action plan, to make southeast Minnesota a better place for seniors.
