Christmas for the Elderly 2019
Some of my greatest Christmas childhood memories include my grandparents: Grandpa's telling of the true Christmas Story before we open gifts on Christmas Eve, Grandma's oranges on Christmas morning, which she meticulously peeled for us every year, and baking and decorating cookies for countless hours. I treasure the time spent with them and love that many of these traditions have carried over into my adulthood and include my own children today.
There are many senior citizens that are not as blessed; they do not have family around at Christmas, no grandchildren to share their day with or siblings to join in celebration. Through the Cape Jaycee Christmas for the Elderly program, we do our best to bring joy to these valued members of our community during the holiday season. In collaboration with Health and Senior Services, Aging Matters and other support services in the county, we receive applications for senior citizens in need. From basic cleaning supplies and toiletries to pajamas, bedding, warm weather gear, pharmacy and grocery gift cards, and more, community donations allow us to gift them with their needs and requests at Christmas. The Jaycees thank you in advance for your continued support of the program. Gift and monetary donations may be made at the Southeast Missourian now through December 17th. For a list of needs for these gifts, please follow our Blog or see below. May you have a blessed season!
