Have you visited an old friend lately? This question comes to you due to an old friend coming to visit the Anchor Point area to say hello. This particular person is an older gentleman that gave me a reality check. There are many elders that can’t get out of their homes due to health reasons and rarely get visitors. I am now stopping once a week to visit with him.
If you know of any elderly who need a visit, please take time out of your busy schedules to stop and say hello.

Anchor Point Disaster Response Program
The main focus of the program in Anchor Point is to get 72-hour disaster buckets out to those who need them most. In addition, the program is designed to raise awareness so everyone can be prepared for a disaster.
Items will be collected throughout September and kits will be assembled the second week of October as an object lesson for the preparedness unit of the Community Emergency Response Team class.
