Holiday Project


ON CHRISTMAS, SPEND A FEW HOURS WITH US—YOU'LL GET BACK MORE THAN YOU GIVE.

WE PROMISE!




Would you like to bring peace, love and merriment to some Orange County nursing home residents? Please join us ON Christmas, December 25th, from 11:00 am to 1:30 pm to spread cheer at area nursing homes.

The facilities we are visiting are in North Orange County—Buena Park and Anaheim. We will meet first and then "fan" out in small groups to sing and/or talk with residents.

Each year, more than three million people spend their holidays confined to institutions. Many have outlived their relatives and friends or for some, those people have moved far away. Life for some of these people is often a lonely experience with few opportunities to make a difference.

The Holiday Project is a national non-profit organization of thousands of volunteers who, every year, visit with hundreds of people spending Christmas and Chanukah and other holidays confined to hospitals, nursing homes and other institutions.

What to bring?

Your love for others * Soft homemade cookies * Song sheets for Christmas Carols

Bonus Opportunity

Also we are looking for contributions to pay for warm, brightly colored slipper socks. We are getting a really good deal from a supplier so we can give them to each of the residents.

Say YES, and please feel free to invite others or pass this along! The more volunteers, the more assisted living facilities get visitors! Please respond as soon as possible by email (betsydensmore52@gmail.com) or a call (949-500-2381).
