Council on Aging (COA) will host its annual Christmas on the River event on Sunday, Nov. 18 from 5 to 8 p.m. at the River House in St. Augustine.
With the theme of “A Worldwide Journey of Wine Tasting & Gift Giving from the Heart,” this event includes wine tastings from Carrera Wine Cellar, fair trade gifts from Amistad, a festival of wreaths and other decorations, delicious food and seasonal music.
All proceeds benefit COA’s Care Connection program, which utilizes the talents of community volunteers and the generosity of community supporters to fill the gap between subsidized services and the needs of the community.
“Providing these services to our seniors is crucial to their independence,” COA Executive Director Becky Yanni said. “I can’t think of a better way to bring the community together around the holiday season to support such a worthy cause!”
