The Oregon Department of Human Services (ODHS) is partnering with community centers and organizations in Klamath and Lake counties to co-host two fun, informational resource fairs that are tailored for older adults. The two free events are open to everyone. They will feature speakers, activities, giveaways, information and resource booths, as well as a free lunch.

Along with the ODHS Office of Aging and People with Disabilities (APD), including the APD Adult Protective Services Unit, the events are being hosted by the Klamath & Lake Counties Council on Aging, the Klamath Basin Senior Citizens’ Center, The Center (formerly Lake County Senior Center) and other partner agencies. Information provided will include tips on how to avoid the latest scams in recognition of World Elder Abuse Awareness Day in June.
