For the past 22 years, the “Thomye Delle Celebrate Our Seniors” program has endured to honor senior citizens of Washington County for their devotion and service to their respective communities, without the expectation of any reciprocal benefits. That tradition continues in August 2026, wherein the non-profit, volunteer program is canvassing to recognize appropriate senior citizens for their unheralded contributions to their communities. At the same time, the program will deliver personal care packages to hundreds of other senior citizens in both area nursing homes and in private residences.
These personal care packages contain vital items such as socks, hand lotion, hand sanitizer, toothpaste, toothbrushes, blankets, puzzles, coloring books, and gift cards. Additionally, the care packages feature handmade greeting cards created by youth from local churches and various communities. Program co-founders Mrs. Veronica Ferguson-Maxie and son Mr. Tre Maxie report that they are deeply thankful to the volunteers and sponsors who support and make this program possible.
For information regarding the program and its historical activities, visit www.celebrateourseniors.com. Individuals wishing to support the program in any way are encouraged to contact Mrs. Veronica Ferguson Maxie via email at celebrateourseniorsday04@gmail.com, by phone at (979) 830-5555, or by mail at Celebrate Our Seniors, 2628 Hwy 36S, Suite #244, Brenham, Texas 77833.
Our Mission
The mission of the Brenham Community Festival's "Celebrate Our Seniors" program is to recognize, honor and celebrate the contributions that senior citizens of Washington County have made in their communities. Oftentimes, these individuals and the positive impact they have had on their communities go unrecognized. To date, the program has acknowledged the positive contributions of over 75 individuals and couples. And during the pre-COVID period when in-person programs were being held, over 3,500 meals have been served to program participants. In addition to the recognition and meal, live gospel music, bingo games, and door prizes (including cash) were integral to the program.
During the 2018 program, the name of the annual program was changed to The "Thomye Delle Celebrate Our Seniors” Day Program in honor of Ms. Thomye Delle Jameson-Ferguson-Burnett, one of the first persons to be honored by the program (2005).
