Senior living community hosts event, raises donations, supplies for students
The Windsor at Ortega community, which provides assisted living and memory care for its residents, hosted a back-to-school supply drive and professional mixer on August 4 to help students at Ortega, Venetia and Timuquan elementary schools have a good start to the new school year. Those who attended were encouraged to donate school supplies and monetary gifts. Every person who donated was given a raffle ticket to try to win a Grand Door Prize.
“We’re a big believer as a privately owned community that we need to support the local community, including students going back to school and their families in this immediate area,” said Wendy Dotson, corporate sales specialist for Legend Senior Living, which operates The Windsor at Ortega. “Even though we focus on seniors, we also work with their families and children. Together we’re stronger.”
More than $300 and lots of school supplies were donated by those who participated. They received a meal to go and a bottle of wine for their contribution. The Windsor’s chef prepared hors d’oeuvres and takeaway meals. Bluestone Physician Services sponsored libations.
