01About this opportunity
Many seniors in our community experience isolation and have limited access to basic necessities. Assembling gift bags at home with your family or friends is a meaningful way to offer practical support and to remind these elders that they are seen, valued and not forgotten. Toiletry items can be purchased at dollar stores to keep costs low. Suggested items include: Small tissue packets Lip balm (Chapstick) Toothpaste & toothbrush Soap or body wash Shampoo & conditioner Hand sanitizer Wet wipes Band-aids Nail file Hand lotion Comb or brush Fuzzy socks Large-print word search or crossword puzzles A sweet note or encouraging card
