After years of planning and fundraising efforts aimed at creating a senior living campus in Junction City, Aging Well, a local non-profit organization, has made the difficult decision to disband. This decision follows a careful evaluation of multiple factors, including ongoing economic challenges and shifting community needs.
Aging Well was founded with the mission of promoting healthy aging and enhancing the well-being of seniors. Over the years, the organization made significant strides toward realizing its vision, thanks to the generosity of donors, volunteers, and community partners.
“We are deeply grateful for the tremendous support we’ve received from our community members, donors, and partners who helped us raise these essential funds,” said LaDonna Junghans and Duane Blythe, Co-chairs of the Aging Well Board of Directors. “Although it is with heavy hearts that we announce the dissolution of Aging Well, we are hopeful that our work will continue through the generous funds we are transferring to the Greater Geary Community Foundation.”
As part of the disbanding process, all remaining funds held by Aging Well will be donated to the Greater Geary Community Foundation, a respected local organization with a shared commitment to supporting community-based initiatives and enhancing the lives of residents. These funds will be used to support future projects and programs focused on serving Junction City and Geary County.
While Aging Well will no longer operate as an independent organization, the legacy of its work will live on, and the organization is thankful for the outpouring of support throughout its years of service.
