🌽🍅 Serving Seniors in Our Communities! 🍎🥕

One of the many ways Three Rivers Regional Commission – Area Agency on Aging works to support and serve older adults in the communities we serve is through our Senior Farmers Market!

Recently, we had the opportunity to bring fresh, nutritious produce directly to seniors at the Villa Rica Housing Authority. ❤️

Programs like this help make healthy food more accessible while also providing an opportunity for our seniors to connect with their community and enjoy fresh fruits and vegetables.

This is just one of the many programs and services Three Rivers Regional Commission provides throughout our region to help older adults live healthy, independent, and connected lives. 🌱

We are proud to partner with our local communities and organizations to make a difference where it matters most!

Tara Grdinich, Community Affairs Director was honored to volunteer at the 5th year Su***de Prevention Awareness Event, “No One Walks Alone,” hosted by Pathways Center in Newnan, GA. 💙

Hundreds of people came together to show their support and stand in solidarity with those whose lives have been impacted by su***de.

It was a meaningful time of healing, love, compassion, and remembrance—honoring loved ones lost, supporting those who may be struggling, and reminding our community that no one has to walk alone.

Thank you to Pathways Center for bringing our community together for such an important event and for continuing to raise awareness, offer hope, and remind us of the importance of reaching out and supporting one another.
