The Athens Community Council on Aging received a $6,000 grant from the Spectrum Digital Education Program. Leslie Trier is director of programs at the ACCA. She says the money will provide digital education for seniors.
“It could be everything from helping someone learn how to do online banking, to helping them learn how to use FaceTime so that they can keep up with their grandkids, to helping them learn how to access their health records so that they can communicate with their doctor to see their results and everything online,” according to Trier. “It was written to be pretty broad.”
The mission of the ACCA is to help seniors age well and live well.
