BOWLING GREEN, Ohio The Wood County Committee on Aging will not deliver home-delivered meals on Tuesday due to the Level 3 Snow Emergency which is in effect in Wood County.
This decision is made for the safety of our seniors, the volunteers who deliver meals throughout Wood County, and our drivers. A total of 35 routes are delivered Monday through Friday serving over 800 homebound seniors daily.

The Health District has also been inoculating those eligible for COVID-19 vaccine during weekdays at the district office on Westwood Drive.
Menchhofer said the Council on Aging’s Senior Center provides more space and allows the Health District to provide more vaccinations at one time, due to the 15-minute waiting period required after receiving the vaccine.
