With the COVID-19 pandemic hitting Bell County the health and safety concerns of our elderly and older adults has increased. 

 Bell County Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Assistant through the University of Kentucky partnered with the Director of the Bell County Senior Citizens Center to get information on the Coronavirus, handwashing and nutrition along with a hot meal to their seniors during the COVID-19 pandemic. A drive thru meal pick-up was set up for the seniors able to drive and pick up their meal. The SNAP-Ed Assistant worked the drive thru handing out the meals, information packets and making sure the needs of the seniors were met. Meal delivery was also available for adults with underlying health conditions and homebound. 

We were able to reach 51 seniors in our community. Through the tough times, we let them know we are here to take care of them. The kindness and concern for our elderly will leave a lasting impact on our community for years to come.
