In late July and early August, our country will be celebrating the anniversaries of some of these most important programs for seniors and people with disabilities. Many of these programs keep us alive and healthy, especially in this time of COVID 19.
CARA has developed some signs celebrating these programs. You can start the celebration today by printing these signs (in either black and white or in color) and decorating your home, car, lawn, etc.
