That means there is a lot of poverty in this area. Businesses and individuals are wonderful in providing donations in cash and food and volunteers.

We, in The Villages, are just so fortunate that we (mostly) have all we need and are able to help others.


"We in the Villages" ….. I know many that live on a shoe string, all savings gone, all pensions gone. So there are needy here. The Daily Sun most likely will not do an artice on the needy among us.
