Smoke Alarm Program for Seniors
Pet Patrol
Nature Coast Volunteer Center, which is part of the Board of County Commis-
sioners, has been awarded the “Communities for a Lifetime” grant from the state of Florida
Department of Elder Affairs. The purpose of this program is to provide and install smoke
alarms throughout the month of June for seniors in need, age 60 and older. The goal is to
help at-risk seniors age in place safely and independently.
This is a collaborative effort between Citrus County Board of County Commis-
sioners, and the Citrus County Sheriff s Office Division of Fire Rescue, with the support of
Home Depot, the Citrus County Chronicle, and WYKE.
Funds are limited. Any senior who is in need of this assistance is encouraged to
contact the Nature Coast Volunteer Center at (352) 249-1275 for more information.
