Collier Senior Resources at the Golden Gate Senior Center has 1,460 diverse members who are primarily female, largely Spanish-speaking and often, live in poverty.
On June 29, 2020, we became the only senior center in Collier County (and one of a few in the State) to open its doors to provide in-person, daily hot lunches to hungry seniors while complying with COVID-19 guidelines.
Since many of our seniors lack internet access and computers or smartphones, we have incurred additional expenses to ensure that we can reach them remotely for a variety of virtual programs, such as Zumba, Yoga, support groups, UPSLIDE mental health counseling, and other services.
We are open and serving a daily hot lunch, monthly bingo sessions and other in-person activities that provide much-needed opportunities for seniors to get together and enjoy the company of friends–all at no charge to the senior.
If you wish to make a donation from sale of securities or your Donor Advised Fund, please contact us here.
Thanks to the generous support of our community, our November appeal was a HUGE success raising more than $200,000 to help us serve less fortunate seniors in our community!
