Our heroes President/ CEO

ince COVID-19 descended upon us, there has been a great deal of focus on our heroes. They include our front-line health care providers, our first responders, our teachers, and all those in our community who are going above and beyond to make sure we are safe and well taken care of during these challenging times. Naples Senior Center has heroes as well. I would like to take this opportunity to thank them for helping us deliver lifesaving services while we are in the midst of the pandemic.
Our staff As soon as we closed our doors, they pivoted to a virtual platform, reaching out to members, clients and volunteers to assess and respond to needs. They continue to develop creative and engaging programs.

MAINTENANCE-FREE LIVING AT ITS FINEST...
Magen David Adom is Israel’s official ambulance, blood-services, and disaster-relief organization. MDA has been on the front lines in the fight against coronavirus while also contending with terrorist attacks, car accidents, and other threats to Israeli lives. But Magen David Adom is not government-funded. Its 25,000 EMTs and paramedics, most of them volunteers, rely on support from people like you for the supplies and equipment they need to perform their lifesaving work. There are many ways to support Israel, but none that has a greater impact on its people than a gift to Magen David Adom. Your support isn’t just changing lives — it’s literally saving them.
