Senior Services seeking gift angels for Forsyth County seniors
|
November 16, 2009 Forsyth County – You can be a holiday angel to a local senior citizen in need by taking part in the 2009 Holiday Gift Angels program. The program is presented by Forsyth County Senior Services.
"The Holiday Gift Angel program is really a neat way for residents or businesses to not only get into the holiday spirit but also to make a difference in the lives of our seniors," Senior Services Director Shelley Johnson said. "I know the seniors appreciate the gifts, but beyond that, it means a lot to them that someone in the community cared about them enough to remember them during the holiday season."
Gift requests tags from senior citizens are now available at the Senior Center at Charles Place, located on Dahlonega Highway next to the Cumming Library. Each gift request tag contains the name of a local senior citizen as well as a gift idea for him or her.
After selecting a gift request and purchasing a gift, program participants deliver the gift (boxed and unwrapped) with the gift request tag (or another tag with the senior's name and route number) attached to Forsyth County Senior Services before Dec. 7.
To receive additional information about the 2009 Holiday Gift Angels program, please call 770-781-2178.
