They may be gone, but they are not forgotten. When family and friends leave this world the void can feel enormous. Regardless of how long they have been gone, there is a desire to keep their spirit alive. Serving Our Seniors is honored to receive memorial contributions (Dec. 5, 2020 – February 26, 2021) to commemorate: Georgi Dimitrov Bob Jones Ann Proctor Robert D. Smith May we never forget the people they were, the lives they lived and the difference they made. The memorial gifts will be used by Serving Our seniors to help older adutls to maintain their health and functional independence as they grow older in Erie County. It is with deep appreciation that we accept these memorial gifts.

Rural Home Delivered Meals: Grateful for Financial Support Serving Our Seniors would like to thank Ed Sinwald for his unsolicited donation. Ed retired his car keys and donated his car, a 2016 Buick with 11,000 miles, to Serving Our Seniors. The car will be used to provide out of town transportation to health care appointments. Although this program is not rolling – yet (due to Covid-19), we anticipate it won’t long. Once our constituents and volunteer drivers have received their vaccination and we can assure everyone is protected from the virus… We can get back on road. Thank you Ed for your very generous donation to this unique transportation program. We are so thankful!
