"Senior Orphans of Polk County is in need of volunteer workers for our two Christmas season events.

Our annual Christmas Dinner, serving about 400 to 500 senior citizens, will be held at the Lake Mirror Center in downtown Lakeland on Monday. We are in need of help with decorating, assisting the elderly to seats, serving food, drinks and clean up. Help is needed from 2 p.m. until 8 p.m., or whatever hours each volunteer can spare.

A food-box-packing event is scheduled for Dec. 8. Six hundred boxes need to be filled with food items to go along with ­Christmas presents requested by each elderly client. Volunteers are needed from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Snacks and lunch will be provided for volunteers.

Senior Orphans of Polk County is a 100 percent volunteer-driven, year-round charity, providing added support to our seniors living on $600 a month or less and needing your help.

If you can help with either event or both events, call Doug at 863-686-8320 for details. Volunteer groups are welcome."
