Council on Aging Celebrates Community Champions Week03/25/2015

Council on Aging of West Florida partnered with Mayor Ashton Hayward for Community Champions Week March 16-20, an initiative to raise awareness about the Meals On Wheels program and its benefits to seniors in our community.

%u201CCouncil on Aging of West Florida has been an essential part of our community for over 40 years,%u201D said Mayor Hayward. %u201CThrough their advocacy, and critical programs like Meals on Wheels, they are empowering our seniors to live healthy, safe, and independent lives. I am humbled to take part in Community Champions Week and to help highlight the important services our Council on Aging provides.%u201D

Mayor Hayward participated in this initiative by delivering nutritious meals to Susie Cooper, a lovely lady 94 years young who has been living in her home for more than 60 years.
