MCSAS Event Registration
We want to get the word out -- we have made a change to our event registration policy. Going forward, we will not accept any event registrations left on voice mail. You must either register in person or speak with a staff member by phone for your name to be on the list.

And, as always, you may only sign up yourself! The only way you can make a reservation for another person is if they live in the same house with you. Each person needs to be responsible for making and remembering their own reservations.

We hope these policies will help alleviate any misunderstandings in the future.
Have a great weekend!

Older Ohioans may go to their local Area Agency on Aging office for help with assembling the required documents and completing their HEAP application. They may also visit www.energyhelp.ohio.gov to apply online or to download a copy of the application.

Applications for the HEAP program must be received by May 31, 2027.
For more information or assistance with applying for a HEAP benefit, contact Community Action Wayne/Medina at 330-723-2229 .
