Description:
Show love and care to older adults in our community by collecting comfort items and practical essentials. Many seniors live on fixed incomes and may need support with food, hygiene products, warmth, and everyday wellness items.
This drive is a heartfelt way for groups to brighten someone’s day while meeting real needs. Senior support items can help older adults feel remembered, respected, and connected to their community.
Great items to collect:
Shelf-stable foods, low-sodium pantry items, oatmeal, soups, tea, crackers, hygiene products, tissues, lotion, lip balm, warm socks, blankets, puzzle books, word search books, large-print activity books, pens, reusable bags, and comfort items.
Helpful tips:
Items should be new, unopened, and in good condition. Low-sodium, easy-open, and easy-to-prepare food items are especially helpful for seniors.
