The Illinois Department on Aging distributes federal and state funds to 13 Area Agencies on Aging, which reallocate the money to community-based social service agencies and projects that directly serve older people.
The Boone County Council on Aging is one of these community based agencies, providing Assistance and Information on many Federal and State Programs to assist the elderly.
