Thelma Thelma has made sure that, despite the pandemic slowing some things down, her involvement with Village Central did not. She is a woman who gives back to her community. She even cooks and provides a meal to her neighbors once a month. Thelma had a long career working with the Department of Job and Family Services, and retired 6 years ago. She is always looking for ways to stay busy, so getting involved with Central Community House was a great fit. Whether it is bingo, weekly meetings, transportation to the grocery store, craft classes, presentations, or monthly trips, Thelma has always been an eager participant. She stated, “Anything they offer, I most likely participate in, and am glad to be a part of.” This past year, thanks to partnerships with the Franklin County Office on Aging and Spectrum, Thelma was one of 40 seniors to receive a Chromebook and computer training to help her stay in touch with other seniors virtually. Thelma stated, “Central has still been doing a lot to engage us during the pandemic. I met more people through Zoom than I would have ever thought. We all know each other and talk twice a week.”
