We are so grateful to the Seymour Noon Lions Club for welcoming us yesterday afternoon and allowing us to share our programs and services.
In 2011, Aging and Community Services of South Central Indiana Inc. and Housing Partnerships Inc. began the process of consolidating their programs to enable both organizations to expand services to clients and focus on comprehensive community development. The combined agencies are now known as Thrive Alliance.
The nonprofit organization provides a wide range of social and human services to residents of south central Indiana, is Indiana’s Area 11 Agency on Aging and serves Bartholomew, Brown, Decatur, Jackson and Jennings counties.
Deanna Powell, director of community engagement, and Carla Kinman-Umphries, director of community enrichment, spoke to our club today about all that Thrive Alliance offers.
The essential social services and housing resources include Aging & Disability Resource Center, case management, affordable housing, caregiver support, nutrition and wellness, dementia care support and education, Medicare counseling and fraud prevention and adult guardianship services. Soon, community health care worker and veteran-directed services will be offered, too.
Jackson County residents can benefit from these services. For those ages 60 and up, free meals are offered at two locations: Crossroads Apartments in Seymour from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Monday through Friday and Victory Tabernacle in Uniontown from 7 to 11 a.m. Monday through Friday. Individuals under 60 may receive a meal for $7. Carla said it's not just about a meal. It's about coming together and having a sense of community. For those homebound, home-delivered meals are an option.
Life changes with age and disability, and Thrive Alliance is here to help people discover their own strengths and enable them to maximize their independence by living their lives on their own terms.
"We really care. We advocate," Deanna said.

Local heart. Global reach. Lion ON!
