LCAP receives $20,000 grant from
Licking County Foundation
The Licking County Aging Program was one of 21 non‐profit agencies that recently received financial awards

The $20,000 grant will be used by the agency to support its Emergency U lity Fund that provides emergency
assistance to low and moderate income adults 60 and older when all other resources have been exhausted.
When assistance is requested, LCAP social workers examine all other assistance op ons including the u lity
company and other resources. If none can be found, then the applicant can apply for LCAP’s own u lity
program.
“Thanks to the Licking County Founda on we will be able to fund many seniors in our community who are in
danger of having their u li es disconnected,” Dave Bibler, LCAP execu ve director, said. “Some mes they
have to decide whether they are going to pay for medica ons they desperately need or pay their u lity bills.
It is nobody’s fault but when you are living on a fixed income, some mes seniors have to make difficult
decisions. With this grant those seniors will be able to keep their heat or air condi oning on and get the
medica ons they need to live a good quality of life.”
Computer classes gear up for summer sessions
By JOHN KENNEDY of the Licking County Computer Society
First off the Teaching Program would like to welcome all the snow‐birds back to Ohio and let them know we
will have computer classes for them. We had some good classes (especially the Beginner's class) in March
and April and will be taking the month of May off to get the computers ready for the classes being offered in
June and July (more on the July classes in the next newsle er). Summer is a good me to take classes in the
comfort of our nicely air condi oned computer classroom, down at 123 S. 3rd St. Classes meet for two hours
a day, two days a week, for three weeks. The cost is only $20 and if you are 60 or over you can register with
Janet Hill at the Heritage Hall recep onist desk.
The tenta ve class schedule (it's only April 1 when I'm wri ng this and have to get confirma ons from
teachers) for June will be: "Naviga ng the Internet" Monday/Wednesday mornings, "Everyday Compu ng
with Windows Opera ng System" Monday/Wednesday from 3 to 5 p.m., "Word Processing" Tuesday/
Thursday from 9 to 11 a.m, and "Everyday Compu ng with the Linux Opera ng System" from 3 to 5
p.m. Classes are subject to cancella on due to low enrollment, so if you are interested in any of these
classes, get signed up early.
For those who might be interested in building their own computer, we will have another "BYOC" (Build Your
Own Computer) workshop in November a er classes are over. If you are interested, place your name on the
"Sign Up Wai ng List" and you'll be contacted some me in October with final details.

Hospice & LCAP partner to form grief support
By HOSPICE OF CENTRAL OHIO
Hospice of Central Ohio realizes that the only way to provide the best possible care
for someone in the last chapter of life, or a er the death of a loved one, is
partnering with others in our community. LCAP and Hospice of Central Ohio have
done just that. They share similar missions ‐ to provide a wide spectrum of services
and resources to our Licking County community. While LCAP wonderfully
contributes to the independence and healthy lifestyles of our senior ci zens,
Hospice of Central Ohio works to help provide the best possible living for a person
while they are going through their last chapter of life and works to be there to
support the family following the death of their loved one.
People o en feel overwhelmed with the death of a loved one. Loss can bring a very
complex and unfamiliar jumble of emo ons, o en referred to as grief. This journey
can be difficult and painful, but it can also be a me for growth and renewal. O en
just learning about grief helps make it more manageable. Group support is a
powerful way to help process grief, and to learn new ways to cope. That is why
LCAP and Hospice of Central Ohio are very happy to be star ng a new program in
May called GriefWorks. GriefWorks is an open support group, to be held once a
month for people who wish to connect with others going through a similar
experience. This group is for any type of loss and is open to the community free of
charge. Our first mee ng will be held on May 7, beginning at 2:00 p.m. in
conference room C.
Everyone should have access to end‐of‐life care regardless of their ability to pay,
complexity of care, or severity of need. Working together, we can assure that all
eligible pa ents have a meaningful end‐of‐life experience and the opportunity to
write the last chapter of their life. Hospice of Central Ohio is commi ed to the
community and is founded on ensuring that no pa ent or family should be without
quality end‐of‐life care.
You can get informa on by calling Hospice of Central Ohio at: (800) 804‐2505 or
