The Wood County Committee on Aging Inc., will have extended hours at the Wood County Senior Center, 305 N. Main St., in Bowling Green on Friday,
July 19; Saturday, July 20; and Sunday, July 21, during the expected high heat and humidity.
Additional hours are scheduled for Friday, until 8 p.m., and all day
Saturday and Sunday, from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., with meals provided (for donation) each day at noon and 5:30 p.m., at the center. Suggested donation for lunch for those 60-plus is $2 and dinner $4. Cost for those under age 60 is $5 for lunch and $7 for dinner.
This service is targeted to the older adults, over 60, and those who might not have adequate cooling in their homes. Those in need of relief from the heat are encouraged to drop in. Games, movies, books and newspapers will be available.
To stay safe in the extreme heat, experts recommend people reschedule strenuous outdoor work to early morning or evening. Those who must work outside are advised to take frequent breaks and drink water frequently, even when not thirsty.
People are asked to check on older friends and neighbors, especially
those without air conditioning.
Please call the Wood County Committee on Aging at 419.353.5661 or 1.800.367.4935 for more information.
