What a haul! An overwhelming amount of donations by fellow Senior Resource Team (SRT) members were brought to Cedarhurst of Tesson Heights just before Christmas to benefit Aging Ahead’s South County Senior Center’s homebound seniors.
SRT is a group of professionals and community members who work together to address the problems associated with older adults. The group meets monthly under the guidance of Joyce Jackson, Outreach Coordinator at Cedarhurst Senior Living of Tesson Heights, who does an outstanding job of arranging for speakers and networking opportunities.
For the past several years SRT has held a shelf staple food drive and a raffle of donated gift baskets to benefit the homebound seniors of the South County Center. This year the group added personal care items such as shampoo, lotion, tissues, etc., so that every South County homebound client can receive a holiday gift bag of goodies just before the holidays.
“The food and personal items are such a welcomed surprise for our clients who are feeling especially lonely and isolated during the holiday season,” said Pamela Guest, Senior Resource Administrator at South County Center. “The monetary donations and the raffle proceeds will enable staff to send additional and much needed surprise gifts to our seniors throughout the year.”
A special thank you to SRT for outdoing itself once again!
