As August comes to a close, we’re looking back to celebrate the volunteers who showed up for local seniors throughout the month! 💚

We’re incredibly grateful to the amazing teams from Resurrection Catholic School, CarMax, ROAR Florida, Amazon.com, Boring Business Systems and Publix Employees Federal Credit Union (PEFCU), along with the many individual volunteers who generously gave their time in our warehouse.

From packing supplemental groceries, frozen food, drinks and fruit to sorting beverages and incontinence supplies, every volunteer played an important role in helping local seniors remain safely and independently in their own homes.

Your time, compassion and reliability keep VISTE’s mission moving. Thank you for serving with heart!

Some pitches start a game. This one honored a legacy. 💚

Last night, outgoing VISTE President Steve Bissonnette threw out the first pitch at the Lakeland Flying Tigers game, surrounded by the volunteers and team members who've made his 11 years of service possible. As Steve steps into a well-earned retirement, we were proud to have incoming President Katherine Fitzwater at the game as well, ready to carry the mission forward.

Thank you, Steve. And thank you to every volunteer who showed up last night. We couldn't do this without you!

A legacy isn't measured by wealth. It's measured by the lives you touch.

Years ago, VISTE received an unexpected gift from the estate of a woman who lived to be 100. She and her husband were both schoolteachers who lived a humble life, but through thoughtful planning, they created a lasting impact on the lives of others.

Today, their generosity continues to help local seniors remain safe, independent, and connected in the homes they love.

Their story is a beautiful reminder that even a modest gift can leave a lasting legacy for generations to come.

Today we celebrate the wisdom, resilience, and contributions of older adults throughout our community. They have shaped our families, workplaces, and neighborhoods in countless ways, and they deserve to feel supported, valued, and connected. 💚

Honor a special senior by sharing their name or a favorite lesson they taught you.

Estate planning is full of misconceptions, and one of the most common is that a will isn't necessary if your family already knows your wishes.

The truth is, having a will helps ensure your wishes are clearly documented and can make the process easier for the people you love.

National Make-A-Will Month is a great reminder to review your plans or create a will if you haven't already.

If supporting local seniors is important to you, consider including VISTE in your estate plans. Your generosity can help older adults in our community remain safe, independent, and connected in the homes they love.
