It's that time of year when we want to do something special for people in our community. The elderly are often forgotten and this may be the only gift some of them will receive this holiday. I am asking friends, family, businesses and individuals to help with this project by Adopting a Grandparent for Christmas.
Your $25 donation will sponsor a special gift for one resident and help enable them to have a Merry Christmas! The festive gifts that we are putting together will be a special pair of socks (stockings) stuffed with things such as Mint Bliss Energizing Lotion for Feet and Legs, Hand Cream, Lip Balm and/or Lip Gloss, and Shave Foam and Cooling After-Shave gel for the men, giving these folks some much needed joy. In talking with the caregivers, I was especially moved when one said to me "You have no idea how many of them don't even have a pair of socks to put on between their skin and their slippers".
My Mary Kay Unit does this every year, and this is my first year participating. I am so excited to have "adopted" Millie's Assisted Living Facility and the Silver City Care Center this year. The gifts will be personally delivered the week before Christmas with a card saying it's from you, your family or your company. All donations must be received by, Thursday, December 5, 2013. I have a goal to deliver 60 pairs of stuffed stockings by December 20th. Please consider adopting a grandparent, or several, this year. Thank you, and Happy Holidays to you from me and my family!
