VISTE recognizes the effort of every minute of every day that our volunteers
serve. They are critical to the mission of helping seniors live safely and independently in their own homes. Last April, we were especially grateful to be able to gather and celebrate the many services that VISTE volunteers provided, making a difference one client at a time.

Last year, Steve presented the President’s Award for exemplary service to Florida Southern College Guest Services, and First Presbyterian Church, Lakeland! These three community partners have been instrumental to VISTE’s hot meal program since its inception in 1999, and especially during the past two years their commitment was exceptional.
