Last week, Congresswoman Laurel Lee (R-FL) hosted a Senior Resource Fair in Brandon to connect senior citizens with free local healthcare, government, and wellness resources. The event featured Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody and State Representative Danny Alvarez.

“My office’s first Senior Fair was a great way to bring the community together to give local senior citizens information about the myriad of resources that are available to them. An important job of mine is keeping our community informed—and that includes our older adult population,” said Rep. Laurel Lee. “I am blessed to be able to go to work every day and serve the people of Florida’s 15th District. I will always do what I can to assist our senior citizens, veterans, and Floridians in need."

“Congresswoman Laurel Lee’s Senior Resource Fair is a great opportunity for seniors to connect with agencies and organizations aimed to help older Floridians—including the Florida Attorney General’s Office,” said Attorney General Ashley Moody. “Florida is the Sunshine State, but we are also a silver state, and our office is dedicated to helping the millions of seniors who call Florida home.”

“The seniors of our community are the folks who have given us everything we have today; they deserve to be honored, cherished and most importantly fought for at every level of government,” said Representative Danny Alvarez. “I’m proud to be on a team that holds them in such high esteem.”

Senator Rick Scott’s Constituent Services team also participated in the event along with representatives from Moffitt Cancer Center, Advent Health Care Center, St. Joseph Hospital, South Florida Baptist Hospital, the University of South Florida, Hillsborough County services, Hillsborough County Supervisor of Elections office, Bay Area Legal Services, Seniors in Service, Senior Connection Center, and United States Citizenship and Immigration Services.
