What a wonderful day celebrating Older Americans Act Month in Richland County! 🎉

Area 1 had such a great time visiting with everyone during Richland County’s annual celebration. We were excited to host a focus group for our upcoming Area Plan and truly appreciated all the thoughtful conversation and feedback from the community.

And of course the food was AMAZING! Pulled pork, delicious sides, and root beer floats made the day even sweeter! 🍖🥤

We absolutely love visiting each of our counties and feel incredibly blessed that you continue inviting us back year after year. Thank you, Richland County, for the warm welcome, smiling faces, and wonderful hospitality! 💙
