Open enrollment started October 15th and will end on December 7th. All senior center site directors have been working with the Lincoln Trail Area Development District’s State Health Insurance Assistance Program also known as SHIP, to help our clients get the information they need to ensure they have the best policy for them. If you know of someone who could benefit from speaking to one of their trusted representatives, please call 270-769-8609 or 270-737-0669.
We will continue to serve meals to the senior citizen population via drive thru until our re-opening on January 3rd. If you know someone 60 years old or older in need of a hot, nutritious meal please refer them to their local senior citizen’s center.
