Suffolk
Legislator Tom Donnelly is pleased to inform Babylon and Huntington residents about the local Suffolk County Office for the Aging Summer 2018 Senior Advocate Schedule. Senior advocates are County
representatives who come out into the community and assist seniors with
information gathering, completion of eligibility or recertification
applications and referrals to appropriate community agencies.
“Now that the
warm weather is here, it’s a pleasant and perfect time for our local senior citizens
to come out and meet with the County’s senior advocates in their own
communities and get the information and assistance they need,” said Legislator
Donnelly.
