Volunteers in Service to the Elderly (VISTE) is a local, community- based, volunteer-driven, nonprofit organization providing services for 40 years to seniors in need. The organization is excited to announce that Allen & Company, Florida's Oldest Investment Firm, is the title sponsor of the 27th annual Thanksgiving Meal Delivery event. VISTE and Allen & Company are enduring, community-focused brands deeply intertwined with the local landscape. "We are incredibly grateful for Allen & Company's unwavering support as the title sponsor of our 27th annual Thanksgiving event," said Steve Bissonnette, President, VISTE. "Their commitment not only provides essential resources but also reinforces the deep sense of togetherness that defines this event, which allows us to continue serving our elderly community members during the holiday season and beyond." The Thanksgiving meal delivery event, a popular local tradition, serves as a heartwarming prelude to the holiday season. It is a testament to the spirit of giving and the power of community. "Supporting VISTE's Thanksgiving meal delivery event aligns perfectly with our values as a firm," said Michael Walker, Vice President, Regional Operations. "It reflects our commitment to making a profound and positive difference in the communities we serve. We are honored to play a part in this wonderful tradition that brings joy to the elderly and fosters a sense of togetherness during the holiday season." Leading up to the event, there are several engaging activities for the community to participate in. The Green Bean Snap and "Operation Cranberry" create opportunities for everyone to contribute. Local schoolchildren lend their creativity by decorating meal bags and placemats spreading joy to those in need. On the morning of the event, volunteers gather at the RP Funding Center in Lakeland to prepare and pack Thanksgiving meals. In the afternoon, hundreds of dedicated volunteer drivers, utilizing convenient drive-through lanes, collect the meals along with beautiful poinsettias and other treats. They embark on a heartwarming journey to deliver these gifts of nourishment and companionship to grateful VISTE clients.
