CARE- Community Action Respecting Elders Receives Funding from the Central MN Council on Aging

The Board of Directors and staff at CARE-Community Action Respecting Elders are excited to report and thank the Central Minnesota Council on Aging for grant funding under the Federal Title III B of the Older Americans Act. The grant funding is for support services for the 2025 calendar year, which includes assisted transportation, homemaking, and chore services. The amount of the grant is $21,101.00 to use through December 31, 2025. Our targeted population is low-income rural seniors in Benton and Sherburne Counties. The CARE Program relies heavily on staff and community volunteers to provide services to our senior throughout our service area. Older adults who receive these services are encourage to make a cost share donation. CARE’s policy is no senior will be denied services because he or she is unable or unwilling to make a donation. Again, CARE would like to thank the Central Minnesota Council on Aging and let them know how grateful we are to receive this funding. By working together, we are enriching the lives of seniors in our community.
