Orting Valley Senior Center

10/14/2026

Hello, Orting Community!
The holidays are coming up fast, and we want to get a jump on it so we can give our seniors the best Thanksgiving and Christmas ever!
Every year, I get asked, "What do you need? How many do you need?' Those are a hard couple of questions to answer. I find it best for us if I just list what we plan to do for each and then let you all work your magic. I have been here at the Senior Center for 10 years, and every year you all amaze me with how much you love and support the seniors here.

If you would rather provide a monetary donation so we can shop in bulk, you can scan the QR code below or click the link below. Checks can be made out to Orting Senior Center and mailed to P.O. Box 104 Orting, WA 98360 or dropped off at 120 Washington Avenue North.

THANK YOU ORTING!

This last weekend we had our Pancake Breakfast, and it was amazing!

Orting Lions Club stopped by and dropped off a HUGE donation (over $1000 worth of food) for our Senior Food Pantry. It was such a wonderful, unexpected gift! Thank you to everyone who helped put that together. It isn't easy to raise that and shop for that much.

Our Pancake Breakfast and Raffle raised over $1,700 to go towards our Senior Food Pantry as well. We couldn't do all these great things for our seniors without everyone's help...

Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts!

Our Winter Greenery Fundraiser is underway! Decorate your home or office for the holidays while supporting local seniors.

All proceeds fund programs and activities at the Orting Senior Center. Your greenery will arrive at the center before Thanksgiving, ready for the holiday season!

Please share this post and help spread the word! 🌲

We are selling beautiful plants to help raise money for our programs. Plants are a great way to encourage our friends to get out into the garden while supporting a healthy fundraising event. Please check our website at Growing Smiles Fundraising for more information.
