2025 Medicare Part D and SEP Updates

This year, our goal is to raise $2,500 to feed 25 families this Thanksgiving. All donations will go directly to help families at the Oak Park Family Resource Center purchase their holiday meals.

Topic: Sacramento County’s draft Local Aging and Disability-Friendly Action Plan (LADAP), with a particular emphasis on its recommended action steps and needs identified through community engagement. A final version of the Plan will go to the County Board of Supervisors for approval in early 2025.
