Adopt-A-Senior getting underway
The Henry County Council on Aging and Henry County Senior Services have initiated their annual Adopt-A-Senior program for the holiday season.
This year, for the first time, organizers will not be suggesting gift items but instead are interviewing seniors and creating individual wish lists with specific items. Right now there are 300 seniors in Henry County to be adopted, many of whom are homebound and on a fixed income.
The program typically solicits individuals, families, groups, churches, business or other organizations to adopt needy seniors in the community and provide gifts. Those interested in participating should call Senior Services, who will provide information on a senior in need. Gifts can be festively wrapped or placed in a gift bag and should be delivered to any Henry County senior center no later than Dec. 5. Cash or check donations are always appreciated.
