Palm Beach Power Behind

Thank you reception recognized the
chairs and committee
whose support, generosity and dedication
helped advance
the Center’s signature fundraising event
The Center for Family Services Palm
Beach County welcomed the chairs and
committee members behind the 2026 Old
Bags Luncheon®
for a thank you reception at the
organization’s
West Palm Beach headquarters.
The afternoon gathering brought together
the supporters whose leadership,
generosity and dedication helped shape
the success of the annual luncheon, one
of Palm Beach’s most recognizable
philanthropic traditions. Guests were
invited to enjoy light bites, sparkling
drinks and conversation in a warm
setting designed to celebrate the
committee’s contributions while offering
a closer look at the Center’s programs
and services.
Held each year in Palm Beach, the Old
Bags Luncheon® has become a signature
event for the Center for Family Services
Palm Beach County, blending fashion,
philanthropy and community impact
through a seated luncheon, celebrity
speaker and silent auction of authentic
designer handbags. The event raises
vital support for the Center’s work
strengthening individuals and families
through counseling, behavioral health
services, education and supportive
programs.
The April reception served as both a
celebration and a reminder of the
community spirit that powers the Old
Bags Luncheon year after year. By
honoring the chairs and committee
members who helped bring the 2026 event
to life, the Center for Family Services
recognized the volunteer leadership and
philanthropic commitment that continue
to expand its reach across Palm Beach
County.
