What is the entity's public purpose, sought to be achieved through the use of state monies?

The Council on Aging is a nonprofit corporation providing services to our elderly such as Transportation, Home Delivered Meals, Congregate Meals, Wellness, Emergency Response Units, Information & Assistance, Telephone Reassurance, and Recreation. The Council acts in an advisory capacity for the elderly citizens of East Feliciana Parish. This year the COA provided 40,098 units of service to our elderly. Unlike some parishes, we do not have a mileage.

What are the goals and objectives for achieving such purpose?
          Our Mission is to assist the elderly in achieving independent, meaningful lives in their own homes and communities as long as possible and to shorten this waiting list by providing meals to needy senior citizens,

What is the proposed length of time estimated by the entity to accomplish the purpose?
           1 year
