Pensacola, Florida (May 27, 2026) – In celebration of Older Americans Month, Gulf Winds made a $5,000 donation to
the Escambia County Area Agency on Aging in Atmore, Alabama. Through this donation, Gulf Winds is proud to support
the agency’s commitment to helping local seniors stay connected, nourished, and supported with services that make an
impactful difference in their every day.
The Escambia County Area Agency on Aging serves older adults and caregivers across the region by connecting
them with programs and resources that promote independence, well-being, and quality of life. Through nutrition
programs, caregiver support, and community outreach initiatives, the agency plays an important role in helping
local seniors remain active, engaged, and supported in the communities they call home.
“At Gulf Winds, we believe strong communities are built by caring for one another at every stage of life,” said Pola
Young, Gulf Winds Director of Community Engagement. “The Escambia County Area Agency on Aging provides invaluable
support to local seniors, and we’re honored to partner with an organization that is creating such a lasting impact
throughout the community.”
In addition to the donation, Gulf Winds team members volunteered during the agency’s Older Americans Month
celebration at the senior center in Flomaton, Alabama. Employees assisted with packing lunches and senior support
efforts while also providing giveaways and spending time connecting with local seniors throughout the event.
“We are incredibly grateful for Gulf Winds’ generosity and continued support of the seniors we serve,” said Sheila
Brown, Director of Escambia County Area Agency on Aging. “Their donation and ongoing volunteer efforts create
meaningful moments of connection and support for our community.”
