Annual Signature Events

Every day, volunteers across Southwest Florida give their time so that a senior has a warm meal, a caregiver gets a moment of relief, or an adult with a disability feels seen. On February 27, 2026, we gathered for our inaugural Waves of Compassion Awards Luncheon to say thank you. This event honored the individuals whose quiet, steady service creates real change in the lives of older adults and adults with disabilities in our community. We are deeply grateful to the sponsors who helped bring this celebration to life.

Florida Community Care for Adults with Disabilities and Florida Power & Light for Seniors also proudly support AAASWFL’s Annual Community Resource Fair.

Navigating services for a loved one or yourself should not feel overwhelming. Our Annual Community Resource Fair brings together service providers, nonprofit organizations, and government agencies under one roof so that older adults, caregivers, and adults with disabilities can connect face to face with the resources available to them right here in Southwest Florida. Whether someone needs help understanding benefits, finding in-home support, or simply knowing what is out there, this event puts answers within reach.

The Older Americans Act has been the foundation of community-based services for older adults since 1965. Our OAA Open House is an opportunity to see that legacy in action, to meet the staff and partners who deliver these programs every day, and to learn how services like Meals on Wheels, caregiver support, and health and wellness programs are making a difference right here in our seven-county region. This is your invitation to walk through our doors, ask questions, and see the heart behind the work.
