OCCK requests $21,800 from Ottawa County for 2026, urges outreach to seniors
Summary
OCCK leaders asked the Ottawa County Commission for $21,800 in 2026 — the same amount funded in 2025 — and urged the county to help spread awareness of services for the Ottawa County Council on Aging.
Sheila Nelson‑Stout, president and chief executive officer of OCCK, presented the nonprofit’s 2026 appropriation request and said the organization is seeking $21,800, the same amount the county provided in 2025. Commissioner Carla Grund encouraged OCCK to publicize its services to the Ottawa County Council on Aging so more residents learn about available programs.
Nelson‑Stout presented alongside Trell Gritner (director of transportation), Susan Sprague (vice president of expansion and communication) and Kendra Krier (vice president of rural outreach and services). The presenters outlined the organization’s range of services and emphasized continuity of funding; the Commission did not take final action on the request at the May 12 meeting. The request will be considered in the 2026 budget process.
