Scottsdale's Adopt A Senior Program - RESIDENTS CAN "ADOPT" AN ISOLATED SENIOR THIS HOLIDAY SEASON

RESIDENTS CAN "ADOPT" AN ISOLATED SENIOR THIS HOLIDAY SEASON
Scottsdale's Adopt A Senior Program invites individuals, families, community groups and local businesses to help make the holiday season a festive one for an isolated senior.
Participants "adopt" a senior by purchasing needed gifts and treats based upon their needs. Total cost for each adopted senior is between $50 and $65.
Donated gifts need to be delivered to the Via Linda Senior Center at 10440 E. Via Linda by Dec. 1. They are then delivered to the senior's home by city social services staff in time for the holidays. Financial donations may also be made to the program. Checks should be made out to "Concerned Citizens for Community Health" and sent to the above address. The Zip Code is 85258.
Individual items may also be donated. Requested items include: gift cards for local grocery stores, postage stamps, personal hygiene items, warm socks, new clothing (sweatshirts, nightclothes, sweaters). To sign-up to help a local senior, please call the Via Linda Senior Center at (480) 312-5810.
