CSR Invites Seniors to Valentine’s Day Event
Naples, FL – 2/6/20 – Collier Senior Resources (CSR) at the Golden Gate Senior Center – a nonprofit organization working to address the needs of older adults and their caregivers – is hosting a free Valentine’s Day celebration for seniors at 11 a.m. on Friday, February 14, 2020, at 4898 Coronado Parkway, Naples.
“For many seniors, limited opportunities to engage with others, especially if family lives elsewhere, lead to loneliness, isolation and depression with negative impacts on mental and physical health,” explains Senior Center Director Tatiana Fortune, MSW. “Events like our Valentine’s Day celebration provide our 1,400+ members a safe space to share memories, create new ones, stay active, learn and grow.”
Taking place Friday, February 14, 2020, at 11 a.m. at the Golden Gate Senior Center, CSR’s Valentine’s event is free, open to seniors and features refreshments, entertainment and camaraderie.
Collier Senior Resources at the Golden Gate Senior Center offers a vibrant, diverse and caring space for some 1,400 members to enjoy comprehensive offerings that include: a daily hot lunch and coffee bar; weekly food pantry, blood pressure, vision and diabetes screenings, oral health assessments, balance testing and fall prevention lectures; monthly birthday parties, dance and exercise classes, Alzheimer’s Support Groups, art therapy, cards and games, holiday parties, crafts; Direct Assistance for Needy Seniors Program and other life-enhancing programs and services
Through the Center, CSR serves more than 1,200 hot lunches a month to seniors in-need and provides 780+ families weekly access to a Meals of Hope food pantry, including 330 needy seniors
The charity maximizes each dollar received by collaborating with trusted partners, including AARP Foundation (job placement and training for out-of-work, low-income seniors), Alzheimer’s Support Network, Area Agency on Aging, Catholic Charities (social services), Collier Area Transport, Collier County Nutrition, SHINE Medicare counseling, Literacy Volunteers, Sheriff’s Office and more
