We feel so incredibly lucky! Amy Jarvis Workowski donated to our PetMeals on Wheels program, helping our seniors' pets have the things they need. This donation will help us feed over 150 cats and dogs (and maybe one or two birds!) throughout Volusia County.

This is what we aim to do at Council on Aging - ensure seniors are healthy, comfortable, and living with dignity through their golden years. We know that comfort includes their furry best friends. Thank you again, Amy, for supporting our seniors' and their best buds!
