When Helene Hit, Our Community Held Strong

An event venue prepared for the Seniors in Service 40th Anniversary Bridging Generations Dinner before Hurricane Helene forced the event's cancellation.

When Hurricane Helene forced us to cancel our 40th Anniversary Bridging Generations Dinner, our community's compassion didn't waver. Instead, your continued generosity reminded us what true connection looks like. Together, we're still celebrating 40 years of service, impact, and the volunteers who bridge generations with kindness and purpose every day.

A Celebration of Support Despite the Storm

It was supposed to be a celebration of our 40th Anniversary. Unfortunately, Hurricane Helene had other plans. As the storm grew closer we made the difficult decision to cancel our 40th Anniversary Bridging Generations Dinner on September 26. Thank you to everyone who helped plan for this event including our board members, keynote speaker Colonel DJ Reyes, event emcee Al Ruechel, our sponsors, and all who registered to attend.

We want to give a special shoutout to all of our sponsors and attendees who transferred their event support to a donation to Seniors in Service because the needs haven’t changed; in fact, they are greater than ever.
