Macomb County Community Action issued the following announcement on Dec. 8.

The Macomb County Office of Senior Services will distribute care packages with essential items for local senior citizens on Thursday, December 17. The distribution event, which will take place between 1 p.m. and 4 p.m., will feature packages with hand sanitizer, face masks, toilet paper, paper towel, soap, gloves and other important items.

“Our office is working diligently to ensure the health, safety and wellbeing of our senior population,” said Sheila Coté, director of the Macomb County Office of Senior Services. “These care packages are just one initiative that can help us reach that goal. Ultimately, we want to be a resource that this population can turn to when they are in need.”

Distribution of care packages will take place at the Macomb County Family Resource Center at 196 N. Rose Street Mt. Clemens, 48043. No appointment is required. Interested individuals are asked to drive up, stay in their car and show their photo ID for a contactless experience. To qualify, they must be a Macomb County resident and over the age 60.

Care packages will be handed out on a first come, first served basis and there will only be one package per person. All items distributed through the event are funded through federal CARES Act dollars. The Office of Senior Services estimates that 1,000 care packages will be given away.
