The Wood County Committee on Aging (WCCOA) announces that all WCCOA locations will be closed on Tuesday, January 27, 2026, due to blowing/drifting snow and dangerously low wind chills expected throughout the day. This closure includes all meals and programming across the county. These conditions create hazardous travel and increase safety risks for older adults, volunteers, and staff. WCCOA encourages older adults to stay indoors, avoid unnecessary travel, and take extra precautions during this period of extreme cold.
The Wood County Senior Center, located at 140 S. Grove Street, Bowling Green, will remain open from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM as a warming center only. No meals or activities will be offered. Both lunch and the evening meal are canceled.
Home Delivered Meal clients are asked to utilize their shelf-stable meals or frozen meals. WCCOA drivers will conduct wellness check phone calls throughout the day to ensure client safety.
As we navigate this winter weather together, WCCOA reminds community members to check on their older adult neighbors, friends, and family members. A quick phone call, text, or knock at the door can ensure they have the warmth, food, medications, and support they need. If you are able, please also consider shoveling sidewalks, clearing porches or walkways, and assisting with ice removal for older adults in your neighborhood. These small acts of kindness help prevent falls and ensure safe mobility.
Anyone with questions or in need of assistance is encouraged to contact WCCOA at 419-353-5661.
