Cape Girardeau Community Caring Council Aging Committee Receives Donation

Alliance Bank recently donated $1,500 to be used for the Community Caring Council Aging Committee Senior Resource Directory. The directory will include listings for services offered by non-profit agencies and other service providers that have representatives on the Aging Committee. Free of charge, it will be available to senior citizens living in Cape Girardeau County while supplies last.

The Aging Committee has not yet reached its donation goal to assist in the publishing of this very informative book. Those wishing to make a donation may contact Ruth Dockins, Southeast Missouri Area Agency on Aging at 573-335-3331.
