CANTON -- St. Lawrence County Office for the Aging is sponsoring the 7th Annual Holiday Gift Drive for Seniors to benefit older adults enrolled in the department’s home delivered meal program.
Last year, over 200 gift baskets and gift cards were given away to senior citizens in St. Lawrence County.
“Due to COVID-19 restrictions, we regret that we will be unable to collect gift items from the public this year,” a press release from St. Lawrence County Office for the Aging said. “From now until November 30th, the office will be collecting financial contributions to purchase gift items and/or gift cards. Staff will then purchase items and put together gift bags for our clients who are most in need.”
“The COVID-19 crisis has severely impacted the lives and health of older adults,” said Andrea Montgomery, St. Lawrence County Office for the Aging Department Head. “The holidays already can be a very lonely time for seniors in the County and the pandemic has only made the isolation worse. Consider adopting a local senior and help us spread a little holiday cheer to our most vulnerable adults.”
Contributions can be mailed to: St. Lawrence County Office for the Aging, Attention: Andrea Montgomery, 80 State Highway 310, Suite 7, Canton, NY 13617. For more information, contact 315-386-4730 or email amontgomery@stlawco.org.
