<div>The Ohio Association of Foodbanks was selected as one if the "navigator" agencies for Ohio. This organization has a presence in all 88 counties. I think your local member is the Akron-Canton Regional Foodbank. That might be a place to start. I will
try to confirm this tomorrow when I am in the office.</div>

I am trying (and not doing very) to contact agencies that are working with and for the Affordable Care Act. I would like to know where in my county (Summit County) we can send our patrons to get help to register for insurance. So, far, I've been directed
to <a href="http://Healthcare.gov">Healthcare.gov</a> and <a href="http://CMS.gov">
CMS.gov</a>. I have not been able to locate any information about where and when to send customers who need help. </div>

I am also interested in proving meeting space for those agencies to come to my library to help people register. </div>

I contacted my representative (Tim Ryan) and received no reply. I contacted Sherrod Brown's office and one of his aides contacted me and told me to contact the Akron Community Resources. Attempts to contact by e-mail have gone unanswered. I will try tomorrow
to call by phone to see if I get anywhere. </div>

I am e-mailing the Oplin list to see if anyone else has been successful in compiling accurate and current information to give to patrons on or around October 1st. Or, are you just as frustrated as I am ?</div>
