Mayors For Meals
Three mayors in Orange County participated in yesterday’s national Mayors For Meals campaign. Mayor Doug Kinson of Maitland; Mayor Scott Vandergrift of Ocoee; and Mayor Pro Tem, Commissioner Robert Stuart of Orlando, delivered meals to support Seniors First in the fight to end senior hunger. Our clients enjoyed the special visitors and the mayors went away with a greater awareness of the threat of hunger our seniors face.

We are grateful to Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer who proclaimed March 22, 2010 as End Senior Hunger Awareness Day and to Orange County Mayor, Rich Crotty for proclaiming March 23, 2010 as End Senior Hunger Awareness Day. Their commitment to our cause and their understanding of our need will truly help us reach our 2020 vision.

1st Annual Holiday Shoebox Gift Drive
October through December 2009
Helped brighten the lives of more than 2,500 senior citizens this last holiday season by simply filling shoeboxes. Seniors First is hosted its 1st Annual Holiday Shoebox Gift Drive for frail, homebound elderly clients who otherwise might not have received a gift. Your little boxes went a long way to brighten a senior’s holiday! Thank you to all who participated.

20th Annual Turkey Trot 5K Run/Walk 2009
Thank you for your support of the 20th Annual Seniors First Turkey Trot! One of Orlando’s most treasured traditions, the Turkey Trot brought together over 4900 runners of all ages and levels for a Thanksgiving morning workout! Family and friends gathered around Lake Eola to enjoy the early morning air and energize their bodies with the 5k/power walk/tot trot.
The race was a huge success and we could not have done it without YOU! Funds raised totaled over $147,000 and will help support the programs and services that Seniors First brings to the elderly living in Orange and Seminole counties. It is only through the generosity of our friends and supporters that we are able to fulfill our mission of enhancing the independence and dignity of the elders we serve.
We would like to thank our generous sponsors!… See More
