The Silver Spurs Rodeo knows a thing or two about taking care of its neighbors.

Last night, the Silver Spurs Rodeo rode into the Osceola Council on Aging Food Pantry with a $10,000 donation and, unlike a bull in the arena, caused absolutely no damage... just a whole lot of good.

Food Pantry Director Ahmed Goico was honored to accept the check on behalf of the thousands of local families who rely on our services each year.

We're incredibly grateful for the Silver Spurs' continued commitment to our community. It takes partnerships like these to keep shelves stocked, meals on tables, and hope alive for our neighbors facing food insecurity.

Thank you, Silver Spurs, for proving that the biggest hearts in Osceola don't just wear cowboy hats... they show up when it matters most. (And sometimes with a really big check.)

Thank you to Leadership Osceola for participating in our Poverty Simulator.

This powerful experience provided a firsthand look at the challenges many families face every day while navigating housing, transportation, employment, healthcare, and other essential needs. By stepping into these real-life scenarios, participants gained a deeper understanding of the barriers that can make achieving stability difficult.

This Memorial Day, we pause to honor and remember the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country.

Their sacrifice made our freedoms possible, and today we reflect with respect.

At the Osceola Council on Aging, we are especially mindful of the veterans and military families we are privileged to serve throughout our community every single day.

As we gather with family and friends this holiday weekend, let us also take a moment to remember those who never made it home, and those who may be reflecting alone today.

From all of us at the Osceola Council on Aging, we wish you a safe and meaningful Memorial Day.
