2012 Senior Orphans Dinner .. a full house of diners & servers .. entertainment by local dance studio & vocalists .. Santa was someplace in the crowd .. this is held every December on the 1st Monday .. -- from TheLedger.com: "Senior Orphans of Polk County is in need of volunteer workers for our two Christmas season events. Our annual Christmas Dinner, serving about 400 to 500 senior citizens, will be held at the Lake Mirror Center in downtown Lakeland on Monday. We are in need of help with decorating, assisting the elderly to seats, serving food, drinks and clean up. Help is needed from 2 p.m. until 8 p.m., or whatever hours each volunteer can spare. A food-box-packing event is scheduled for Dec. 8. Six hundred boxes need to be filled with food items to go along with ­Christmas presents requested by each elderly client. Volunteers are needed from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Snacks and lunch will be provided for volunteers. Senior Orphans of Polk County is a 100 percent volunteer-driven, year-round charity, providing added support to our seniors living on $600 a month or less and needing your help. If you can help with either event or both events, call Doug at 863-686-8320 for details. Volunteer groups are welcome." 2012 photos by: PC © All rights reserved

More than 300 volunteers provide about 7,000 hours of labor every year, collecting, sorting and packing goods that are delivered to our single elderly seniors, who are screened and qualified, to help them survive on such a small amount of income." -- Taken from a letter about Senior Orphans -- © All rights reserved
