Tangible and monetary donations are greatly needed to help our local home bound seniors enjoy a happy holiday season. Cobb Senior Services staff is gearing up for its 11th annual Christmas365 event on Dec. 7.

This special event is a great time for home-bound seniors to enjoy an afternoon of holiday cheer, food, gifts and fellowship with others. You can adopt a senior by making a monetary donation or by donating new items.

There is no deadline for financial donations, but tangible donations must be received by Nov. 28. Financial donations can be made at cobbseniors.org.

Suggested items for donation include bath sets (male and female), blankets, gowns, electric can openers, grocery gift cards, house shoes with non-skid bottoms, pajamas (male and female), loungers, prescription gift cards, rollator walkers and microwaves.
