TIME FOR ACTION IS NOW!
The City County Observer has recently begun to publish “Cause of Death” reports from the Vanderburgh County Health Department.
We now in a position to offer space in our publication for obituaries, with one photo and unlimited words, free of charge if we can get the support of local Funeral Homes.
If you have ever had to deal with the cost of a funeral you know that the experience can be very expensive and the cost of publishing an obituary in the Courier & Press and other for print publications only adds to the extreme funeral costs during this trying time.
We have spent the last year reaching out to local Funeral Homes in hopes that they would let us publish some of their obituaries as a public service, and all have refused to cooperate.
Our proposal is to publish obituaries free in the CCO so that more people have the opportunity to have the passing of loved one be recognized in all available media outlets.
The major point of contention is that many of our readers to do not read the Courier & Press and other local print media. The local Funeral Homes owners does a disservice to our community by not allowing the lives of our loved ones to be recognized and remembered in a published obituary in all area media.
If you would like to assist the City County Observer in correcting this bad business practice and discriminatory policy practiced by local Funeral Homes and believe it is time for a change, please contact your local funeral home to voice your opinion. Â Make sure you ask them to visit the City County Observer on-line site so they can see what your talking about.
Please contact the following Funeral Homes and voice your support in allowing the City County Observer the opportunity to pay tribute to the passing of our love ones.

Ronald,
After reviewing internally with our Legacy management team we have decided against allowing you to link to our Legacy Evansville market obits. All obits in our database are paid for by newspapers that have partnered with us to host their obits for them. Allowing a 3rd party publication access to that data would not be fair to our current newspaper affiliate partners. We do not currently offer this service to any other publications not currently using Legacy to host their paid obits.
We would be happy to work with you to host your paid obits online when you’ve developed a consistent paid obit program. We recommend building relationships with your in-market funeral homes to be sure your publication is available to be chosen by families when they are working with them to place their paid obit orders.
Best wishes!
Andrew Greb | Senior Affiliate Manager

USDA Proposes New Ways to Help Meet Nutrition Needs of Low-Income, Homebound Seniors and People with Disabilities
| WASHINGTON, July 13, 2015 – Today, Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack announced that the U.S. Department of Agriculture is proposing to improve access to groceries for homebound seniors and people with disabilities who participate in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. USDA is proposing for the first time to permit grocery purchasing and delivery services run by government and non-profit organizations to accept SNAP benefits as payment, allowing for home delivery to those unable to shop for food. Vilsack will announce the proposal today during the 2015 White House Conference on Aging. Nationally, only 42 percent of eligible elderly individuals participate in SNAP, compared to 83 percent for all people who are eligible.
“Home delivery of groceries is an important step forward in serving the needs of these vulnerable populations. Allowing homebound seniors and people with disabilities to use their SNAP benefits through government and non-profit home delivery services will help ensure they have access to healthy foods,” Secretary Vilsack said, noting that one in five SNAP participants is either elderly or disabled. “This issue has a particular importance for seniors living in rural areas, as America’s rural population is older than the nation overall and rural seniors experience higher poverty than seniors nationwide.” Authorized by the 2014 Farm Bill, the proposed rule outlines eligibility and participation criteria for purchasing and delivery services serving the homebound elderly and disabled, and seeks comment from stakeholders. In addition, USDA’s Food and Nutrition Service will soon begin seeking up to 20 food purchasing and delivery services to participate in a one year pilot program. Lessons learned during the pilot will used to help shape the final rule. As the nation’s first line of defense against hunger, SNAP helps put food on the table for millions of low income families and individuals every month and has never been more critical to the fight against hunger. SNAP is a vital supplement to the monthly food budget of more than 46 million low-income individuals. Nearly half of SNAP participants are children, nine percent are over 60 and more than 40 percent of recipients live in households with earnings. |
