Awakenings victim outreach program receives grant
LIMA __The Awakenings Victim Outreach Program at Area Agency on Aging 3 was awarded a multi-year grant through the Health Path Foundation of Ohio to support older adults (60+).
The Awakenings Victim Outreach Program supports older adults across Allen, Auglaize, Hanock, Hardin, Mercer, Putnam, and Van Wert counties who have experienced abuse, neglect, or exploitation. These funds are available to assist with a variety of direct services that can help improve their safety and well-being following any number of situations. The items or funding must be needed as a direct result of abuse, neglect, or exploitation.
Possible assistance could include:
- Rent and utilities assistance
- Deposit for apartment
- Medications
- Security cameras/locks
- Groceries
- Safety equipment
- Household goods
- Clothing
- Other essential items
“This grant will help reach an underserved population that often does not receive funding and lacks in services, so we are excited to prioritize these individuals. The Awakenings Victim Outreach Program advocates for people in their darkest moments and helps them to overcome and have a quality of life everyone deserves,” Awakenings Program Coordinator Anna Hairston, MSW stated.
Area Agency on Aging 3 has a referral form for assistance on the website at www.aaa3.org/victimoutreach for anyone who may be in need of help and has been a victim.
