Today closes out Senior Hunger Awareness Month. GCOA was happy to support the mission spearheaded by Dr. Temitope Walker, Ph.D. alongside DHS colleagues and community partners when Governor Kemp signed the proclamation to formally recognize the month. Currently, more than 13% of older Georgians face food insecurity. DHS is currently working on the first state plan to address senior hunger. Read more about it here: https://lnkd.in/eGZiXyMv

Georgia ranks 9th in food insecure seniors. Today, the State affirmed that the health and safety of older Georgians matters by declaring April as Senior Hunger Awareness Month. The Georgia Department of Aging Services, Georgia Council on Aging, Atlanta Regional Commission, Legacy Link, Open Hand Atlanta, and Georgia Health Policy Center, joined Governor Kemp after signing the Senior Hunger Proclamation. We are so proud to live in Georgia, a state that is addressing the senior hunger problem. #onegreatregion

Check out this insightful conversation with Georgia Council on Aging member and Senior Week Chair, Sharise Thurman Byrd!
We are in the midst of a public health crisis that no one is talking about!! As parents and relatives get older, oftentimes there is not a plan in place to get them the care that they need. This may become a strain on their families who were not financially or emotionally ready for this season. I sat down with Thank Me Later Show?with Jini Thornton, CPA to discuss the financial impacts of aging parents. This episode is a MUST WATCH if you have aging parents or know someone impacted by aging parents! Check out the full episode at the link below: https://lnkd.in/eSpFrQ_R #thankmelatershow #thankmelatermoney #jinithornton #agingparents #eldercare #aging Thankmelater undefined
