Ontario OH - During these uncertain times, do you know of a senior citizen that is volunteering their time to help others? Do you know of a group that is performing a community service to help those in need? Here is your chance to recognize them!
The Ohio District 5 Area Agency on Aging, Inc. is currently accepting nominations for the Outstanding Senior Citizen and Community Service Award. Nominations can be completed on-line at www.aaa5ohio.org or by requesting a form to be mailed to you. The deadline for nominations is May 28, 2021.
