I want to take a moment to recognize the incredible kitchen team at the Wit & Wisdom. From our dedicated kitchen staff to the many employees who jump in to help whenever needed, they all work together to make sure our seniors receive quality meals every day.

After recently looking at meal programs and different similar offerings in surrounding areas, I can honestly say our team goes above and beyond. The meals, portions, food selection and care that go into what we serve make me incredibly proud. These photos are just a small example of what our kitchen puts out daily, it shows the hard work and heart that our staff puts into serving Franklin County's seniors.

Franklin County is truly blessed to have such an amazing family here at the Wit & Wisdom., working hard to serve our seniors.

A big thank you to the Knights of Columbus Council #3943 in Christopher for sponsoring a game at our upcoming GloBingo fundraiser this August!

We truly appreciate their generosity and support of our mission. Their sponsorship helps ensure that the programs and services we provide to seniors throughout our community can continue to thrive and make a difference in the lives of those we serve.

The Knights of Columbus also asked us to pass along their appreciation for the work being done here at Franklin County Senior Services, and they were happy to lend their support to help our efforts continue.

While we're sharing the love, the Christopher Knights of Columbus would like to invite everyone to join them for Bingo on the first Monday of each month. It's a great opportunity for fun, fellowship, and community support.

Thank you again, Knights of Columbus #3943, for your kindness and commitment to helping others!

If you've made it this far in reading this post, give us a like and follow us if you haven't already. We would certainly encourage anyone willing to help out by donating an item, basket or sponsorship to give us a call or message us here. thank you!!

What a blessing in more ways than one.

Some time ago, Southpoint Church of God reached out to us wanting to know how they could help support our mission. We asked if they might be interested in holding a pet food drive for our homebound seniors with furry friends, or better yet, furry family members.

Without hesitation, Pastor Tod, along with Alexis and the entire Southpoint family, jumped into action. Today this awesome group of young men and women delivered an incredible amount of generously donated pet food for some of our seniors most in need.

On top of that, I had personally reached out asking for additional assistance for one of our client families facing hardship, and they also brought a check today to help provide clothing for that family.

I truly cannot thank them enough for their kindness, compassion, and generosity. Please help me thank the entire Southpoint Church family for stepping up and making a real difference in the lives of others!

I’m going out on a limb here to see if anyone might be able to help.

This “partial” envelope came to us through the mail (USPS) several weeks ago. The envelope had obviously been torn open and the contents were removed. Whoever did it was also smart enough to remove the entire return address.

Long shot here... Does anyone recognize this handwriting or have any information about where this letter may have come from?

Thanks in advance for any help or information! Share if you can please.
