— from Lena Kassa for Orcas Senior Center —
All of us at the Orcas Senior Center would like to say a big THANK YOU to the Orcas community for your generous donations to the Center’s recent GiveOrcas campaign. Because of you, we were able to reach our ambitious goal of $25,000! This money will ensure that we are able to continue to support the vital meals and transportation programs for seniors and disabled Orcas islanders, even if the COVID-19 response period is extended.
The Center provided more than 11,000 meals in 2019, including meals both at the Center and via home delivery. This year, not only has self-isolation expanded the need for the delivery of meals and other essentials, but closure of the Center has further expanded the need as people are unable to come into the Center for meals. Because of your generous donations, we are confident now that we will be able to meet this unprecedented challenge. Thank you!
