Valentine’s Day Event Provides Free Mobility Aids: FSCofGA and FODAC Partner
for Seniors’ Well-Being Strengthening Community, One Wheelchair at a Time
Norcross, GA – February 14, 2025 – This Valentine’s Day, First Senior Center of Georgia
(FSCofGA) is celebrating love and care by giving the gift of mobility to seniors in need. In
partnership with Friends of Disabled Adults and Children (FODAC), FSCofGA will distribute
150 mobility assistance devices, including wheelchairs, walkers, and canes, to ensure that seniors
can navigate daily life with greater independence and dignity. The special event will take place at
11:00 a.m. and run for an hour.
Thanks to a generous donation from FODAC, this initiative aligns with First Senior Center of
Georgia’s mission to create a vibrant and inclusive community where Vietnamese and minority
seniors can thrive, receive essential services, and enjoy fulfilling lives in their golden years.
Supporting Minority Seniors with Essential Services
Led by Executive Director Von Tran, First Senior Center of Georgia recognizes the unique
challenges faced by minority seniors, including language barriers and limited access to
government support. FSCofGA provides critical programs such as a food bank, free
transportation, burial services, and social support to help seniors integrate into American society
while maintaining their cultural identity.
“Many of our seniors struggle with mobility issues, which makes daily tasks difficult and
sometimes isolating. Thanks to FODAC, we are able to provide these life-changing mobility
aids, helping our elders regain their freedom and independence,” said Von Tran, Executive
Director of FSCofGA.

This Valentine’s Day event is part of a long-standing partnership between First Senior Center of
Georgia and FODAC, reflecting a shared commitment to improving the quality of life for
seniors. By ensuring access to mobility devices, both organizations are working together to
remove barriers that limit independence and engagement in the community.
