The Whitley County Chamber Ambassadors recently honored the Whitley County Council on Aging as the August Business of the Month.
Home of the Whitley County Transit Service, the “Meals on Wheels” program and a host of other services for seniors, the Ambassador Team sought to applaud all the WCCOA does for the seniors of our community as well as their steady participation in the chamber and its programs.
Established in 1974, WCCOA employs 20 people which help to provide programs and services such as free tax preparation, trips, shots/immunizations and the farm wagon, just to name a few. Additionally, the transit service provides much needed low-cost bus service to the county and numerous activities for local seniors.
