An eligible person is either a senior age 60 or above or Native American age 55 or above, and who is at 185 percent of the federal poverty level or below 185 percent Federal Guideline. A representative from the ADRC will be at the following markets on the following dates in an effort to reach more eligible participants: Tuesday, July 10, in Jacksonport; Wednesday, July 11, at the Settlement Shops in Fish Creek; and Friday, July 20, in Egg Harbor.
