The Senior Community that Central KY Community Action (CKCAC) serves is proving that age is just a number. CKCAC is proud to provide a variety of very influential programs, that allow our seniors to stay active, share a hot meal with friends, have accessible transportation, maintain independent living and give back to their communities. Here are some numbers on our seniors from the past 2018-2019 Fiscal Year:

  • 109 seniors received care and companionship through the Senior Companion Program.
  • 600 senior commodity boxes were distributed in partnership with USDA and America’s Second Harvest of the Heartland.
  • 35,744 meals were served to seniors through the CKCAC Congregate Meals Program.
  • 28,875 volunteer hours from our 117 Retired Senior Volunteer Program at 17 different volunteer stations.
  • 1,282 seniors enrolled in the CKCATS Transportation Program. During this time, CKCATS logged a total of 1.76 million miles, providing safe and reliable transportation options to thousands of people across the region during the 2018-2019 Fiscal Year.

To our seniors in Hardin County; we will be hosting an Open House in April, for all seniors to come and meet our new RSVP Director, Melissa Bland. The event will be held at the Griffin Manor Senior Center, located at 1119 Johnstown Road #8,  Elizabethtown, KY 42701. The date will be announced very soon.
