          Social Work 180
For many years senior citizens were an underserved
           population in the United States.

       Due to the Older American Act of 1965,
  Senior citizens now receive a wide array of services
                      nationwide.

This Act led the way for a well known Hanford resident
  Simon Lakritz and two of his friends to establish the
               Commission in Spring 1970.
The goal of the Kings County Commission on Aging is to
      provide information and referral service, offer
 assistance, support and advocate for the senior citizens
    of Kings County as prescribed and outlined in the
                   Older Americans Act.
The Agency sets a very welcome and inviting atmosphere. The staff is so
dedicated and passionate about their jobs. They work as a team to help each
other to complete whatever needs to be done to assist the client.

The structure of the Agency is very simple due to the fact that there are only 7
employees within the Agency.

This largely is due to the Agency being a non-profit.
