Summary

In August 2020, the Beaver Island Commission on Aging continued social-distance Bingo and promoted remote or low-contact services for older residents. The announced services included a virtual travel club, a countywide pen-pal-style Pals program, wellness checks, home-delivered and frozen meals, meal vouchers, and monthly reimbursement assistance. An August referral promotion was intended to connect additional Charlevoix County residents aged 60 and older with COA services.
