Lincoln County Council on Aging

Our Mission:

-To enrich the quality of life and support independence and vitality for those over 50 and the community around them.-

 

Please donate to LCCOA’s annual Adopt A Senior campaign today!

At Lincoln County Council on Aging, we have been helping seniors in this community for the past 34 years; serving and delivering hot, nutritious meals as well as providing activities and transportation to many area seniors.

The cost to do this is immense. While we receive funding from the United Way, some foundations and grants, a good part of our financial contributions come from individuals like you. Every dollar that a community member sends our way is used to help a senior right here in this community – a grandparent, teacher, neighbor, parent, veteran or friend.

Won’t you help us continue to serve the community and seniors?  Please make a contribution in any amount to help us continue to make a significant difference in the lives of thousands of seniors in Lincoln County
