NEW CUMBERLAND – The Hancock County Commission will offer its support in an effort to encourage state officials to allow senior citizens in the county to, once again, have access to nutrition, transportation and other services usually available to them.
Beth Wolanski, director of Hancock County Senior Services, attended Thursday’s commission meeting to request help in getting the state to allow the county senior center to reopen. In-building programs had been stopped as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
