The Erie County Department of Senior Services has announced two virtual public hearings to be held in order to seek community input regarding unmet needs of the County’s older adult population, seek feedback on existing programs and services offered by the Department, and ideas on how to better serve the county’s older population.

“The annual public hearings are the best way for residents to speak directly to our department to give us feedback on our programs and add their voice to the discussion about how we can improve our programming in the future,” said Commissioner of Senior Services Angela Marinucci.  “We are encouraging all Erie County residents to join the conversation and assist our department in best serving the community.”
