From WOOD COUNTY COMMITTEE ON AGING
The Wood County Committee on Aging (WCCOA) has announced its 50th anniversary celebration, which will mark five decades of dedicated service to older adults throughout Wood County. The community is invited to join an open house celebration on Friday, Sept. 26, from 6 – 8 p.m., at the Wood County Senior Center, 140 S. Grove St., Bowling Green.
Founded in 1975, WCCOA has grown into a comprehensive resource for seniors, offering a range of programs including home-delivered and congregate meals, medical transportation, health and wellness initiatives, caregiver support, resource navigation, and social engagement opportunities. With eight senior center sites across the county, WCCOA continues to help aging adults and their families.
The anniversary event will feature refreshments provided by Bowling Green Manor, Brookdale Bowling Green, Heritage, Now Serving, Otterbein, Partners in Home Care, Waterford at Levis Commons, and Wood County Hospital. A short presentation will begin at 7 p.m., highlighting WCCOA’s history. Guests will have the opportunity to connect with WCCOA staff, dedicated volunteers, elected officials, and community members who have played a vital role in supporting the agency’s journey over the past five decades.
No RSVP is necessary – all are welcome to attend and celebrate. Parking is limited, so guests are encouraged to carpool, if possible. Donations to the Friends of the Wood County Committee on Aging will be accepted during the event to support ongoing programs and services for older adults in the community.
