What's Happening?
The 4th Annual Ohana Walk in Sacramento, organized by ACC Senior Services, is designed to bring the community together while supporting local seniors. The event features a 1, 2, or 3-mile walk that is accessible to all ages and abilities, followed by a picnic with live music and performances.

The event highlights the importance of community support and engagement, especially in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Why It's Important?
The Ohana Walk underscores the critical role of community events in supporting vulnerable populations, such as seniors, by raising funds and awareness. It highlights the ongoing need for accessible services and resources for aging populations, which is increasingly important as the U.S. demographic shifts towards an older population. The event also fosters community spirit and engagement, promoting health and wellness through physical activity. By supporting ACC Senior Services, participants contribute to the sustainability of essential programs that help seniors live with dignity and purpose.
