In a recent study called the “Through Their Eyes Project”, college students were assigned different tasks to complete while simulating the effects of mobility challenges many older adults struggle with. Simulations included buttoning their shirt or tying shoes while wearing gloves, climbing flights of stairs while breathing only through a straw and navigating restrooms, closets and uneven sidewalks with a walker or wheelchair. The students found that what they considered to be daily routine actions were suddenly exhausting and difficult. It also gave them a new outlook on society’s responsibility to be attentive to the needs of everyone in their community.At Seniors First, we see the effects of aging every day. How quickly seemingly simple daily tasks can become impossible when one’s strength or mobility is compromised. It’s why the nutrition and in-home services your contributions help to provide are so important. It’s also why we are so grateful for your continued support. Thanks to you, in 2018, Seniors First was able to serve over 4,600 clients, provide almost 350,000 meals, 188,000 hours of personal care

and homemaker services and 17,700 hours of volunteer service. Thanks to you, senior

citizens in our community got the little bit of help they needed to clean their home, bathe, dress and eat healthy meals. Most of all, thanks to you, they felt less isolated, more independent and safer in their own homes.

Here’s how you can continue to help. Volunteer: Volunteers are the life blood of our Meals on Wheels program. Delivering a fresh meal, a vital safety check and a few minutes of much needed conversation can make a world of difference in the life of a senior.Give: Your thoughtful gift will be used to avoid the three biggest threats of aging; hunger, isolation and loss of independence.Advocate: Know the facts on senior hunger, then help to educate others. Even bringing awareness through your social media platforms makes a huge difference. Warmly,Marsha Lorenz, President/CEO

Thanks to you, senior citizens in our community got the help they needed.

president’s message:

marsha lorenZ

“I am Doc. I am 70 years old, alone with no family. Over the years my health has deteriorated but you have never failed to take extraordinary and loving care of me. Seniors first provides the bulk of my food, shops for me, cleans my home and helps me bathe. In all these years, no one has ever come forward to assist me as Seniors First has done. If I was not permitted to continue with you, I can’t imagine where I would be now. You are in fact, my only family. You are my only treasure.”

As President/CEO, I spend a lot of time looking at numbers....... but as we all know, numbers don’t mean anything if you have no point of reference. So here’s some real numbers. 1 in 6 senior citizens struggle with hunger, thousands have to choose between buying food or medication and hundreds more are in danger of losing their independence for lack of a little help around the house. These are not strangers in other cities we know nothing about. They are living down the street in our own neighborhoods.

But there’s good news. In 2017, thanks to your support, we were able to assist over 4,700 seniors

here in our community including those most in need following the hurricanes. Thanks to you, over 300,000 meals were served alleviating hunger, depression and

isolation. When I read Doc’s story in his own words, I am reminded what a difference you are helping us make in the lives of our seniors. Thank you for caring.

Here’s how you can help.

Volunteer: Volunteers are the life blood of our Meals on Wheels program. Delivering a hot meal, a vital safety check and a few minutes of much needed conversation can make a world of difference in the life of a senior.

Give: Your thoughtful gift will be used to avoid the three biggest threats of aging; hunger, isolation and loss of independence.

president’s message:

marsha lorenZ

Angel had a serious stroke and Rosita was struggling to take care of him. They were on the verge of being evicted when Seniors First got the call. With your help we were able to provide nutritious food, in-home and personal care. Amazed, Angel says “Everybody came to help us!”

Thanks to you, we’ve been able to improve the quality of life for Angel, Rosita and hundreds more like them, but many more are still in need of assistance. Currently, there are over 16,000 seniors in Orange County who struggle with hunger and may not know where their next meal will come from. Many find themselves isolated and alone, having to choose between food and medication and unable to care for themselves or their environments.

As we look toward the second half of 2017, I am thankful for your continued support. I believe we can solve senior hunger and that it doesn’t take much… if we all join together.

Here’s how you can help.

Volunteer: Volunteers are the life blood of our Meals on Wheels program. Delivering a hot meal, a vital safety check and a few minutes of much needed conversation can make a world of difference in the life of a senior.

Give: Your thoughtful gift will be used to avoid the three biggest threats of aging; hunger, isolation and loss of independence.

Advocate: Know the facts on senior hunger and then help to educate others. Even bringing awareness through your social media platforms makes a huge difference.

Warmly, Marsha L. Lorenz
