Thanks to Arkansas legislatures, senior centers across the state are receiving funds to help cover operating costs. This one-time state funds transfer comes as part of a larger $3 million in restricted reserve funds to the state Department of Human Services’ Division of Aging, Adult and Behavioral Services. Staff from the Area Agency on Aging of Southwest Arkansas, Inc. (AAASWA) were thrilled to deliver checks to centers in our region.
