Ten at the Top to launch interactive asset maps for children and seniors
September 24, 2017
In an effort to make finding services and organizations a little easier for senior citizens and parents of children in the Upstate, Ten at the Top has developed two interactive maps. These two maps list a variety of places and services to help people of different ages find services best suited for them in the hopes of creating better outcomes.
The first map is the Child Well-Being Services Map. Its main goal is to create a successful future for Upstate youth and their families by providing information about nearly 800 services. The map includes services for children and youth ranging from conception to age 26. Such services include child safety, education, employment, substance abuse prevention, housing/foster care, and more. This interactive map allows parents to find the services best suited to help their child be successful and healthy.
Aging: It’s something hopefully everyone faces in their lifetime, so it’s an issue everyone should be paying attention to. The Senior Services Map includes nearly 250 services and organizations that help keep seniors safely in their homes. Services and organizations contained in the map include food pantries, home-delivered meals, congregate dining sites, contacts for home repairs and modifications, and rent and utility payment assistance.
To view the interactive maps please visit www.tenatthetop.org and click ‘Resource Maps’ from the top menu.
Community members and service providers are invited to the community launch of these interactive maps on September 26that the Bon Secours Wellness Arena. The event will begin at 4PM with a networking reception after the program. Please RSVP for the event at www.tenatthetop.org.
