Honoring the Legacy of Brian West

It is with heavy hearts that the VISTE family mourns the sudden passing of our longtime supporter, advocate, and former Board Member, Brian West.

For years, Brian brought his trademark energy, compassion, and leadership to our mission, helping ensure local seniors never felt forgotten. Whether he was championing community partnerships through his work at Publix, providing food assistance for those in need, or serving on our Board, Brian dedicated his life to uplifting others. His impact on the Lakeland community and the lives of those we serve will never be forgotten.

VISTE President Steve Bissonnette shared, “Brian was a strong advocate for VISTE. A consummate professional and friend, he made our community better and will be missed by many. Our thoughts, prayers, and deepest condolences go out to Brian’s family, friends, and his colleagues at Publix.”

A little Mardi Gras fun and a lot of community spirit! 🎭💚

Kayla and Terry are representing VISTE at the RSVP Polk Summer Event today, sharing information about our programs and meeting adults age 55+ who are interested in making a difference through volunteer service.

We're grateful for opportunities like this to spread awareness about VISTE's mission and the many ways volunteers help elderly neighbors remain safe, independent, and connected in the homes they love.

Congratulations to longtime VISTE Board member Troy Garcia, recently honored as the 24th recipient of the Judy Dobbs Leadership Award! The award recognizes Board members for their outstanding leadership, excellence, and service to VISTE’s elderly clients.

Troy is also known for his integrity and unwavering loyalty. His parents, wife, and their three children – attended the award presentation. Several of his colleagues from Allen & Company also attended to help celebrate.

Troy originally joined the VISTE Board of Directors in 2016. He took on increasing responsibility over the years and is a past Chair of the Board. We are so fortunate Troy continues to have such a positive attitude and impact, all in service to our elderly neighbors in need. Congratulations, Troy!

We’re almost at the finish line! 💚

You can help ensure local seniors have the everyday essentials they need.

“Dear VISTE, Thank you so much for the personal care box. There are so many useful items in it. In fact, a couple of the items were on my grocery list to purchase! I also look forward every month for my commodity box. And kudos to the volunteer for such a good job delivering them. She always lets me know when she is coming so I can be ready for her. And I do so enjoy my chats with my phone pal! We have become good friends through our Friday phone chats. Keep up the good work!” – Nina

A gift of just $25 sponsors one care box, helping provide comfort, dignity, and support to a senior in need.

Special thanks to our Title Sponsor, Orlando Health and to our Match Sponsor, T. Mims Corp.!

On this Target Tuesday, we're highlighting VISTE's Personal Care Boxes! 💚

Twice a year, volunteers pack and deliver 400 care boxes filled with essential household and personal care items to elderly clients in our community. These everyday necessities help older adults remain independent and have the basic items they need at home.

Services like these are made possible through the support of our community.
