The Westlake Group was one of the first companies to participate in the Sulphur Senior Center Partners in Elderly Program three years ago â and have continued their annual donation ever since.
âItâs not the only way they help our seniors,â said Sulphur Senior Center Coordinator Cynthia Beverly. âThey have been generous in other ways, providing lunches and helping hand out commodities.â
Beverly said 601 Maple St. in Sulphur is a Calcasieu Council on Aging meeting place but contributions to the Partners in Elderly Program are not used by that organization. Sulphur seniors benefit.
âWeâve used the funds for bingo prizes,â Beverly said. âSometimes those prizes are basic needs such as toilet tissue or hygiene products. Weâve also taken seniors out to eat, nothing extravagant, but some of them just donât have the transportation or other resources to do that.â
