THE COUNCIL

 The Franklin County Council on Aging, Inc. (FCCOA) was established in 1966.  Membership is open to any resident of Franklin County aged sixty and over.  The Council elects its own officers, the members of the Board of Director (who do not need to be 60+), and the Advisory Committee at the Annual Meeting of Council Members in December.  The Board of Directors manages the property and affairs of the corporation.  The Advisory Committee represents the members of the Council and reports their wishes to the Board of Directors.  The Board and the Advisory Committee are composed of twelve members who serve without pay.  Both groups meet regularly on the second Tuesday of each month, the Committee at 9:30 and the Board at 1030.  Other meetings may be held as necessary. 

MISSION

The mission of the FCCOA is to enable and empower the aging citizens of Frankfort and Franklin County to maintain dignity and independence, in their homes, as long as possible by providing opportunities for socialization, health promotion, benefits counseling, transportation services, home care services, recreation and exercise programs, adult day care, caregiver support, and nutritious meals.
