Thank you Meijer for caring about older people! Serving Our Seniors received $5,000.00 in Meijer Gif Cards. We distributed Meijer’s caring generosity during the holiday season. 69 Erie County residents, ages 60 +, received $50 each. The remaining 31 gift cards will be used to help others who need such help in the coming months ahead. Thank you, Meijer! Thank you VacationLand Federal Credit Union! Serving Our Seniors received a $500.00 donation from Vacationland Federal Credit Union. The co-workers had a candy sale and selected Serving Our Seniors to be a recipient of the proceeds. Their donation will be used where it is needed most. Thank you VLFCU!! Kathy Hammond: Teaching Others How to Garden Meet Kathy Hammond.
