ACCA’s COVID-19 Vaccination Information

Much like our strong support of the proven methods of helping to slow the spread of the virus – wearing a mask, keeping a safe, social distance and washing of hands – we also believe the COVID-19 vaccination is a powerful tool to fight against the virus.

Please click here to visit the COVID-19 Vaccination Information page to learn more about the vaccine and how you can help protect yourself and your family, friends, neighbors and our community.

Athens Eats Together is a county-wide initiative created to provide emergency food relief to any Clarke-County resident facing food insecurities due to COVID-19. We at ACCA are so proud of the opportunity to further expand our reach into the community to not only serve our existing seniors in need but all residents of Clarke County.

ACCA IN ACTION DURING COVID-19

ACCA Emergency Food Relief – By the Numbers
• 169,623 emergency food relief meals provided since March 16th
• 2,714 people served including ACCA’s existing clients, older adults within the community and Athens Eats Together recipients
• 8,550 safety checks and buddy calls made

On March 16^th, ACCA closed the majority of our 14 aging service programs. Because we were prepared, in less than 48 hours, we were able to transition our entire agency’s service delivery model into one critical mission that no senior will be left behind.

We are concentrating ACCA’s resources into the meals on wheels model of service delivery, focusing on three areas: food and basic needs, security checks and virtual social connections for all we serve. As part of our emergency food relief efforts, each week seniors are receiving 5 frozen prepared meals, commodity bags with groceries for an additional 5 meals, and basic essentials such as toilet paper. Utilizing our existing community partners, we purchase commodities from the Food Bank of Northeast Georgia and wholesale distributors and prepared meals from Epting Events.
