Bridging All Generations Breakfast Event
This year the Osceola Council on Aging is celebrating its 40th anniversary, an amazing feat for an organization that has grown from being solely focused on nutrition for the homebound elderly to a diverse and broad inter-generational social services organization providing a safety net to enable independence and self-sufficiency for the elderly, disabled and disadvantaged.
What is most amazing is the Council’s resiliency. Being a ‘needs’ driven organization, responding to the constant changes in our community during the last five years of recession and economic downturn has been more than challenging. Growing needs within our community for nutrition, medical and transportation services have happened at a time when donations and contributions have been minimal. Families dealing with unemployment, underemployment, higher food and fuel costs have come to depend on the Council and its partners to help. The Council did make a difference. Last year more than 100,000 residents received services from the Osceola Council on Aging. The mission has remained the same while the methods to deliver on that mission have become more complicated, more expensive and requires determination and resolve to succeed.
In keeping with our theme of Serving All Generations the Council will celebrate with our 2nd Annual ‘Bridging All Generations’ breakfast program scheduled for Thursday, August 11 from 8am – 9am at the Barney E. Veal Center. It is designed to inform people less familiar with the Council about the wide scope of services the Council provides our community. The intent is to provide the opportunity for those individuals to make a financial contribution toward the mission of the Council.
The event will include a video highlighting several of the Council’s programs; a breakfast prepared by the Council’s catering service, live testimonials and of course, an invitation for our guests to contribute to our year round efforts to support the needs of our community.
Sponsorships are available as well as the opportunity to invite friends and co-workers to this extraordinary insight into the lives the Council touches each year and every day.
