Thank you to everyone that attended this year's Sam Ingraham Senior and Caregiver Resource Day on 9/16/2026. We hope vendors and vistors alike had a wonderful time. Special thank you to Avalon for generously providing the lunches. Thank you to all volunteers and vendors that helped make this event happen with all the behind the scene work. Pictures of the event are attached and feel free to share your own as well! Set up was a busy time and there wasn't always time to get pics taken. We hope to see you all next year, same time and place. Not pictured: kitchen volunteers (Rick with APS and Jessica with Mount Vernon Care Community), front desk volunteers (Diana, Diane with Ohio Eastern Star Homes, and Paul with Senior Nutrition), KCH Pain&Pop Health, & Knox Public Health.

Apologies to everyone that visited the Mount Vernon Farmer's Market on 9/5/2026. Our volunteer unexpectedly did not show and the group was not aware until after the fact. Sadly this is the risk associated with a fully volunteer run organization. Please note, no one is paid at Taskforce. Everyone at the table is giving their personal time to distribute tokens. This makes filling volunteer slots a challenge. Thank you for your understanding.

Our annual Sam Ingraham Senior and Caregiver Resource Day is back! Join Taskforce and its many organizations for a free, public event. 10am to 1pm on September 16th at the 1st Nazarene Church in Mt Vernon. Lunch is provided (courtesy of Avalon). We are accepting vendor applications as well. The event showcases all sorts of resources to guide and support seniors, caregivers, those planning ahead, and more. Perhaps learn who to contact before the need ever arises as life can be unexpected, but being prepared and knowledgeable is priceless. We look forward to seeing you then!

Thank you to everyone who joined us at the fair last week! We had a record breaking turn out. 130 signed in, but we estimate 135 visitors. Last year was 109. We hope everyone enjoyed themselves. A special thank you to the fair board for allowing our return. A large number of our organizations came together to put this on. The Green Teens were a big help working as gophers and registration. Lunch by Avalon, water/fans by CenterWell, water/bingo cards by Station Break, pens by Gentiva, OES Homes sponsored tables/chairs/pens, fans by Luminary and Star, and more. Jim returned as our DJ. Bingo prizes were donated by a number of our organizations as well including Country Club, Heartland Promos, Alzheimer's Association, Mt Vernon Care Community, F.A.C., and more. Many of these groups and others staffed the event. This list is not exhaustive as so much effort can be hard to keep track of and goes to show how strong our Knox community is.
