Event attendees will be treated to a champagne reception, formal dinner, and dancing to the live music of Grapevine.

 “Our Open Hearts for Seniors theme reminds us of our compassionate volunteers, community partners, board members and staff who work tirelessly to meet the needs of older adults in our community. The event gives us an opportunity to thank all who have helped us this past year and raise much needed financial support for the organization,” said Carrie Bellware, Senior Services North Fulton’s executive director.

Meals on Wheels volunteer Ray Doan an Alpharetta resident, Kimberly-Clark Corp., with many of its divisions located in Roswell, and the Sandy Springs Society will be honored at "Open Hearts for Seniors".

Seniors Services North Fulton leaders say Kimberly-Clark has been a wonderful corporate partner for many years providing generous financial, in-kind, and volunteer support to help them carry their our mission. Kimberly-Clark associates also help at events and deliver Meal On Wheels to clients.

The Sandy Spring Society, a longtime supporter of Senior Services, has been instrumental in helping sustain the Transportation Options Program for seniors through its grant making.

“Senior Services relies on donations from individuals, corporations and grantors to support our programs, and the demand for our services is greater than ever before,” continued William Wideman, Senior Services North Fulton’s Board Chair.
