In celebration of Older Americans Month, Gulf Winds made a $5,000 donation to the Escambia County Area Agency on Aging in Atmore, Alabama. Through this donation, Gulf Winds is proud to support the agency’s commitment to helping local seniors stay connected, nourished, and supported with services that make an impactful difference in their every day.

The Escambia County Area Agency on Aging serves older adults and caregivers across the region by connecting them with programs and resources that promote independence, well-being, and quality of life. Through nutrition programs, caregiver support, and community outreach initiatives, the agency plays an important role in helping local seniors remain active, engaged, and supported in the communities they call home.

“At Gulf Winds, we believe strong communities are built by caring for one another at every stage of life,” said Pola Young, Gulf Winds Director of Community Engagement. “The Escambia County Area Agency on Aging provides invaluable support to local seniors, and we’re honored to partner with an organization that is creating such a lasting impact throughout the community.”

In addition to the donation, Gulf Winds team members volunteered during the agency’s Older Americans Month celebration at the senior center in Flomaton, Alabama. Employees assisted with packing lunches and senior support efforts while also providing giveaways and spending time connecting with local seniors throughout the event.

“We are incredibly grateful for Gulf Winds’ generosity and continued support of the seniors we serve,” said Sheila Brown, Director of Escambia County Area Agency on Aging. “Their donation and ongoing volunteer efforts create meaningful moments of connection and support for our community.”
