Hendricks County Community Foundation Awards $15K Grant for Senior Services
The Hendricks County Community Foundation (HCCF) recently awarded Hendricks County Senior Services $15,345 to purchase dehumidifiers for the HVAC system. The dehumidifiers will improve the comfort of guests, especially those who exercise at the Senior Center during the summer months. The grant was made from the Raths Family Fund, a Donor Advised Fund at HCCF.
Older adults and family caregivers trust Hendricks County Senior Services to provide a variety of supportive services that help seniors maintain their independence and health. The mission of Hendricks County Senior Services is to “Empower older adults for personal independence, healthy aging, social connection, and lifelong learning in Hendricks County.”
“Hendricks County Senior Services has hundreds of visitors to the Senior Center each day. Ensuring their comfort is important, especially when we are promoting our fabulous exercise and wellness programming.
