Koochiching Aging Options has a new digital media outlet.
KAO staff has been working to give the organization’s web-site an update and
the results are a slimmed-down site that provides more information in a
straightforward manner. Visitors to the site at www.koochichingagingoptions.org
can find information on how the organization was founded, services available to
older adults in Koochiching County, how to volunteer, how to donate and
information on past and upcoming events. Check out the new site the next time
you are wandering around our digital neighborhood.

Great June for Groceries to You! Program
There has been an uptick in the Groceries to You! program. If June’s
numbers of clients and orders are indicative of a trend, the program is being
accessed by more and more residents of the greater International Falls
area.
The program received a record number of orders during one week in
June, keeping order taker Karen Bruyere busy all morning long. After adding a
number of new clients in June, the program is beginning to match Koochiching Aging Options
The volunteers who shop and deliver grocery orders were also
kept busy, especially with the addition of new shopping forms guiding them
through the aisles of grocery stores. The new shopping forms are in the “field
testing” stage and have been designed to add more consistency, flexibility, and
information to the shopping process.
The success of the program in June can be attributed to the
efforts KAO’s volunteers who are committed to providing this vital service to
those older adults in need of assistance with getting food stuffs. As
conceived, the G2Y! program is designed to help keep older adults in the
International Falls area in their homes longer and KAO volunteers are working
hard to accomplish this goal.
