Have you not noticed the number of seniors working here in The Villages? Many are doing so to supplement their SSI and may be affected due to business and restaurant closings. I bet they do not qualify for unemployed payments so the $1200 will be a big help!

If you do not need the money donate it to a church or local food bank. I am sure they will be very appreciative of you donation.
