Needs
Develop new small specific focused classes and strengthen those which we have started. We have begun a weekly chair yoga program lead by a certified instructor, the program continues to grow, a class enjoyed by many. We conduct quarterly art classes lead by a well-qualified artist., and we will continue to expand this program.
During the 2023 Christmas Holiday the WSF conducted it's yearly Santa Bag program. This successful program serves those less fortunate who do not have family support. Each recipient receives an array of household essentials such as paper products, soaps, household cleaning items, and a few surprises. This all volunteer effort purchased and delivered Santa Bags to 65 individuals and households in Winters in 2023. The need is much higher but our available funds could only stretch so far. From our research we could have delivered to 120 people in 2023. We ask for your support to meet this growing need. Please assist us by making a donation.
In 2023 we restarted monthly senior community gatherings where we have had speakers on all manner of topics, ranging from fall prevention, senior driver safety and speakers from the local police and fire departments. Held an ice cream social and listened to wonderful local musicians , and ended the year with a formal holiday luncheon. With generous donations from the community, the WSF is able to cover a large percentage of the cost for such events.
