The Henry County Council on Aging is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. It is made up of 19 volunteers who serve as directors. Directors are selected by each District's commissioner and City Council members. The council's primary objective is to support programs that serve Henry County senior citizens. Supported programs include Meal-on-Wheels, Nutrition Supplements, In-Homes Services, Senior Centers and Volunteer Activities. The council members serve as advocates on behalf of the senior citizens of Henry County. They seek out grants for senior service programs that are only available to non-profit organizations. Their primary annual fundraising event is the Miles-for-Meals Campaign. The Miles-for-Meals Walk is held each year on the first Saturday in May.
