This coming Tuesday, September 24th, Hudson County Executive Craig Guy will host a Listening Tour Session with senior citizens at the Henrietta Benstead Senior Center in Kearny. The County Executive will be joined by Kearny Mayor Carol Jean Doyle. The session will allow the County Executive and Mayor to hear the concerns and needs of seniors and community members. Staff from Hudson County’s Department of Aging and Veteran Affairs will distribute nutrition services following the listening session.
Mayor Doyle noted, “The listening session provides an opportunity for Kearny senior citizens to voice their concerns, ask questions, or simply attend to hear about important issues facing our community. The core of what we do as elected officials is listen to the needs of our residents and then work diligently to allocate the resources necessary to meet those needs. The food distribution and access to nutrition services is an extension of the resources available to our seniors and we want them to be aware of the services available to them to meet their needs.”
Tuesday’s session will run from 11 am until noon. The senior citizens center is located at 60 Columbia Avenue in Kearny.
