Many seniors ask for little toys/games to give to their grandchildren as gifts (this is a source of self-esteem, to be able to give something to a grandchild). When you select your donation, think in terms of any item that an elderly person would find useful or enjoyable. Please donate only those items that you would give to your own grandmother or loved one as a gift. The message we want to send to our senior citizens is "I love you." The Product Donation Committee organizes all product donations. They sort, inspect, count, log, label, and store the donations. Annually, volunteers distribute product donations to senior sites. We also accept donations of items to be used as door prizes and raffle prizes (used at our annual fundraisers open to the public). Gift certificates and merchandise are great for these events.
