Boxes of Hope
Our elderly community members are treasures—rich with stories, wisdom, and life experience. They have spent years caring for others, and now it is our privilege to care for them. As many seniors face loneliness and isolation, a simple gesture of kindness can remind them that they are loved, valued, and not forgotten.
Boxes of Hope is a meaningful way to share encouragement with seniors in our community—even if you don’t know them personally. Each box is a tangible reminder that someone cares, offering hope, joy, and connection.
Registration opens October 24, 2025. Visits will take place between November 22 and December 22.
With your help, we can reach our goal!
