Are you able to adopt a Senior this year?

This is an urgent request for support. We are hoping that you can help! (PLEASE SHARE!)

Each Christmas, our local chapter of IODE supports our Christmas Hamper program by 'Adopting a Senior' and shopping for gifts from their wishlist. Due to a decline in volunteer support, they truly need help this year!

Are you able to adopt a Senior this year? The cost is approximately $40/ Senior. If so, please call us at 519-534-0353.
