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.
Deadline: November 22, 2024
With your help, we can reach our goal!

If you can volunteer to deliver the box to the residents at the home, and visit with them please indicate that in the sign-up. We will coordinate your visitation location and date.
