Sunflowers for Seniors started 4 years ago by First Toledo Local Director Patrick Abec. Patrick brings children to area retirement centers to present a bouquet of sunflowers to each senior. It is really an opportunity for the children and seniors to talk and share what they love. The reaction from the seniors always brings great smiles to everyone! The main reason this whole project was started is to remind our seniors that the community still remembers them and appreciates all that they have done.
This year the campaign reached out to 25 different senior communities and has distributed over 2000 bouquets. We know what an impact this has made on our seniors and we are thankful that we have been blessed by their compassion!
