ARETTA
When tough times hit – especially during this COVID-19 pandemic – food becomes increasingly important. No one knows this more than Aretta who reached out to Council on Aging (COA) at the beginning of the pandemic to receive home delivered meals.
Seven months into the pandemic, she continued to receive meals and support from the Hamilton County Elderly Services Program.
After receiving a letter explaining that she would receive a COA care package of personal care supplies, Aretta called COA to express her gratitude through voicemail.
She says, “As you get to be 80 years old and you don’t have family and not many friends left, it’s good to know somebody’s got your back – it gives you hope and lifts your spirit…I thank everyone that is involved with Council on Aging - you’re wonderful.”
