The Rutherford County Sheriff's Office SCAN program has been helping local senior citizens who live alone and don't have anyone to check on them for over 10 years now. SCAN stands for Senior Citizens Awareness Network and the organization is made up of volunteers.

If you want to get involved and help local seniors who often find themselves alone and in need of a friend, contact the SCAN organization at 615-904-3139. E. T. Guice is the SCAN Coordinator.
