Giving Tuesday Annual Fund Drive


Because No Neighbor Should Age Alone.


This Giving Tuesday, we’re inviting you to stand beside the seniors, families, and vulnerable neighbors who depend on the Osceola Council on Aging every single day.


For nearly five decades, OCOA has wrapped its arms around Osceola County, Central Florida, and even communities beyond, with 42 life-changing programs that provide:

  • Hot, nutritious meals to homebound seniors

  • Transportation to critical medical appointments

  • Adult day care and respite for caregivers who are exhausted but devoted

  • Emergency utility and rent assistance for families on the edge

  • In-home and health support that allow older adults to age with dignity

  • Food pantry services for anyone facing hunger

When someone has nowhere else to turn, our community turns to us – and we turn to you.

Our Goal: $25,000 – Doubled and Then Some

This year, our Giving Tuesday goal is $25,000 for our Annual Fund Drive.


Thanks to the incredible generosity of Blake Williams of Insurance Offices of America (St. Cloud), we have been blessed with a $25,000 matching gift.

That means:

  • Your $25 becomes more than a donation – it becomes meals.

  • Your $50 becomes companionship, transportation, and hope.

  • Your $100 or more helps keep all 42 programs going strong for the most vulnerable in our community.

Every gift, no matter the size, helps us reach our $25,000 goal and leverages this extraordinary match to support more seniors and struggling families than ever before.

This Year, When You Give – We Give Back

We know you have many choices of where to give. When you choose the Osceola Council on Aging, you become part of our family.


As a small but heartfelt way to say “thank you,” every donor who gives on Giving Tuesday will receive a Certificate of Appreciation from the Council.


You can proudly display it:

  • On your refrigerator at home, as a reminder that you helped care for your neighbors, or

  • In your lobby or office, as a visible sign that your business stands with seniors, caregivers, and families in need.


If you give $500 or more, you will receive not a certificate, but two plaques, one for your lobby and one at the Council, for everyone to see!


You are not just a donor. You are a partner in compassion.

Why Your Gift Matters

Behind every dollar is a story:

  • A senior who can stay in the home they love instead of entering a facility.

  • A caregiver who can finally take a deep breath while their loved one is safe at Adult Day Care.

  • A family that keeps the lights on and food on the table during a crisis.

Our 42 programs are not “extras” – they are lifelines. 


And they only exist because people like you believe that kindness still matters.

Let’s Make This the Best Giving Tuesday Ever

The Osceola Council on Aging appreciates our donors more than words can say. Together, we can make this our best Giving Tuesday ever and ensure that no senior, no family, and no neighbor is left behind.


Please make your Giving Tuesday gift today.


Help us reach $25,000, unlock the $25,000 match, and keep hope alive across Osceola County, Central Florida, and beyond.


From our hearts to yours – thank you for caring, thank you for giving, and thank you for standing with the Osceola Council on Aging.
