The Council on Aging of West Florida needs to your help to help local senior stay warm this winter.

Here are some winter safety tips:
- Keep your home comfortably heated.
- Wear several layers of loose clothing. Tight layers of clothing can keep your blood from flowing freely, which can lead to loss of body heat.
- Wear a windproof and waterproof coat or jacket if you plan to be outdoors.
- If your hands and feet are cold, put on a hat. This causes your body to send more warm blood to our hands and feet.
- Use a scarf to cover your neck.
