SILVER STOCKING PROJECT Many elders in nursing homes and retirement centers are often forgotten during the holidays. Imagine being alone and without a gift during the holiday season? The Silver Stocking Project is a grassroots, community-based project that delivers gifts to our elders who are without friends and family. The Silver Stocking Project is working with Villager Voice Magazine to increase the number of elders we are able to serve. In 2005, gifts were given to 138 residents from seven homes. In 2006, gifts were given to 203 residents from eleven homes. In 2007, gifts were delivered to 702 residents in 22 homes. ITEMS REQUESTED Personal Care Items: Baby Powder, Lotion, Body Wash, Shampoo/Conditioner, Deodorant, Toothpaste, Kleenex, Razors, Shaving Cream, After Shave, etc. Clothing: Socks, Hose, T-Shirts, Slippers, Night Gowns, Sweat Suits, Gloves, Ball Caps, Lap Throws, Knit Scarves, etc. Food: Candy (Regular & Diabetic), Nuts, Fruit, Nutritional Drinks, Crackers, etc.
If you would like to volunteer or donate items, please call (336) 766-1211 or email: silverstocking@triad.rr.com or editor@villagervoice.com. |
