METHODOLOGY TO ADDRESS SERVICE NEEDS <br />OF LOW INCOME-MINORITY ELDERLY <br /> <br />The Cabarrus County Department of Aging provides services to all older adult <br />residents regardless of race or economic status. Brochures are distributed <br />throughout the community that promote the services provided by our agency. <br />Services are also promoted through local churches and through presentations to <br />senior citizen and civic groups. <br /> <br />Our current client base includes a substantial number of minority chents and five of <br />our congregate nutrition sites are located in minority and rural areas. We will <br />continue to distribute infmmation in predominately minority and/or low-income <br />neighborhoods, promote our services through the local churches and make personal <br />presentations whenever possible to groups. <br /> <br />Through a partnership with the local newspaper, The Independent Tribune, we <br />distribute our Sunset Outlook newsletter to 27,000 subscribers. This allows <br />publicity of our programs and services to reach the entire county that includes both <br />Concord and Kannapolis. We also coordinate service referrals with other human <br />service agencies and receive many referrals for services from home health agencies <br /> <br /> <br />
