Donations sought for annual Holiday Gift Basket Project
Table of Contents
The 28th Annual Holiday Gift Basket Project, sponsored by Senior Connections, The Capital Area Agency on Aging, is seeking donations to support the packing and distribution of gift baskets to older adults in need, who are isolated, or have no family to help during the holidays.
The project brings extra holiday cheer to those in the greatest need of support. The most needed items include gift cards from grocery stores and pharmacies, nonperishable food items (low or no sodium), household supplies and emergency preparedness items (radios, flashlights, lanterns and batteries.)
Items may be delivered to Senior Connections at 24 East Cary Street in Richmond through Thursday, Dec. 7
Other emergency needs, such as payments of utility bills and transportation assistance, can be met through monetary contributions from individuals, organizations and businesses who want to support the project. Checks should be made payable to Senior Connections, with the notation “2017 Holiday Gift Basket Project” on the memo line. Checks may be mailed or delivered to Senior Connections by Dec. 7. Donations are tax-deductible.
