COA meets the match challenge
In response to the $100,000 match challenge issued by Glenn and Connie Ritchey, the Council on Aging announced recently that the Hurricane Recovery Community Challenge has met the goal. The tally as of Oct. 31 exceeded $250,000, which qualifies COA to collect the full $100,000 match from the Ritcheys. The money will help COA, now working in temporary locations, get back on its feet after its headquarters on Beach Street were damaged in Hurricane Irma.
While most donations came from the local community, one contribution arrived from a Council on Aging in Louisiana, which had suffered similar damage from Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
