Area Agency on Aging
Help the Area Agency on Aging plan for the future service needs of the aging population in our nine-county region. A 2022 Community Assessment Survey is now available both online or a paper copy mailed to homes. The Agency will use the information gathered through this survey to assist in determining which services to fund in its Strategic Plan period of 2023-2027. Public input will also help the Agency plan for additional federal funding expected in 2022 from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA). The deadline to complete or return the survey is Nov. 30.
The survey is accessible online through an article on the Agency’s News page, https://info4seniors.org/news/ or contact knevius@info4seniors.org or 937-3413001/800-258-7277 to receive a paper copy mailed to your home.

DAYTON Turkey Takeaway
Miami Valley Meals (MVM) will host a Turkey Takeaway Event on Wednesday for those in need across the Miami Valley.
The event is being held this year with support from presenting sponsor the Feast of Giving, an annual Dayton Holiday tradition providing Thanksgiving fare and fellowship. This community affair has served more than 7,000 guests per year since 2009 and was most recently enjoyed in the Dayton Convention Center in 2019. The event was cancelled last year due to COVID-19, and the ongoing pandemic is forcing the event not to be held this year.
In 2020, Miami Valley Meals distributed 10,000 frozen Thanksgiving meals at two sites along with increased service through their
regular partners. This year, the goal is to distribute 15,000 meals.
Distributions will take place Wednesday, from 9 a.m. to noon, at Trotwood-Madison High School and The University of Dayton Arena. Guests are to stay in their vehicles, follow signage for the drive-through, and meals will be placed in their vehicles. Masks are required. This is a first-come, first-served event.
In addition, MVM has partnered with the Dayton Young Black Professionals to add two smaller satellite locations in West Dayton at the Omega Baptist Church and the Dayton Boys & Girls Club. Distributions at these satellite locations will be from noon to 3 p.m.
Miami Valley Meals is a partner
agency of The Foodbank. MVM also reconnected with its former production partner, Lindy’s at Daybreak, to provide dessert for this year’s meals.
