ElderHelp staff and volunteers alongside UPS volunteers and their families orchestrate the delivery of more than 350 festive poinsettias and gift cards to seniors in our community–creating bonds of intergenerational friendship and brightening the lives of those who may feel overlooked at the holidays. But really, the visit means more than the delivery. The “Angels” don’t just drop off the gifts–they sit down on the sofa for a chat, they share a cup of tea or play a game of cards, they give each senior the pride of hosting a holiday visitor and the comfort of knowing they belong to a caring community. ElderHelp seeks your support through online donations or gift cards to help seniors stretch their limited budgets and feel special at the holidays.
