Dear Mr. McLemore:
Please accept this as our request for funding to assist in service delivery to Winter Springs senior
residents.
The cost to provide meals, transportation, homemaking, and chores has increased substantially in
the past year. Attached are Winter Springs client demographics with a breakdown of funding
sources. The cost is $11,048.87 more than funding received for these services (Federal, County,
United Way).
Also attached are our 501 (c) (3) status, Board of Directors, and Fact Sheet on services.
We hope that you will carefully consider this request and join other cities in Seminole County
who help the disadvantaged and vulnerable seniors living within their jurisdictions.
Please feel free to give me a call if you would like f.rrther infoffi1ution or have questions.
Kind Regards,
Sherry Fincher
