United Way Area Agency on Aging (UWAAA) is collecting donations of store-bought holiday cakes, cookies and pies to deliver to seniors in long-term care at 40 boarding homes in Jefferson County.
The donations are all part of “Home Sweet Home for the Holidays,” an annual project of UWAAA’s Long-Term Care Ombudsman program, which oversees area facilities and advocates for their residents. The project is designed to spread a little cheer among those who cannot be with family during the holidays.
“Everyone has a favorite holiday dessert or treat, and the residents have told us how much they look forward to receiving these goodies every year, courtesy of our thoughtful community,” said Ashley Lemsky, UWAAA Program Director. “Donations are genuinely appreciated.”
Store-bought cakes, cookies and pies will be collected at United Way and can be dropped off in person – or by using a grocery delivery service – at United Way’s office on Friday, December 19th or Monday, December 22nd between 8:30 a.m. and 4 p.m.
