“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the valuable services that our senior centers in Kentucky are providing for senior citizens throughout the First Congressional District. Along with essential workers, senior centers have provided crucial services to our elderly populations during the COVID-19 pandemic. As the country has learned to adapt to different times, senior centers have also modified their services. For instance, the Union County Senior Services organization had to cancel potlucks, exercise classes, and bingo sessions. While those in-person activities were unfortunately suspended, the dedicated servants who make up this organization dramatically increased options for home delivery and meal pickup for area residents. In addition to providing meals, the Union County Senior Services also distributes food grocery items for the senior citizens. Just recently, they even hit a tremendous milestone of 15,000 meals prepared since the beginning of the pandemic. Their tremendous contributions have been replicated in the entire region, showing that Kentuckians truly have each other's backs during times of need. As a lead Republican cosponsor of the Supporting Older Americans Act of 2020, I understand the critical services senior centers provide for the elderly. I stand today to recognize all the hard work and dedications these centers provide throughout the First District of Kentucky. ____________________”
