“Neighbors Helping Neighbors” Campaign
A Christmas in Action Neighborhood & Partner Committee Initiative
As we continue to travel and learn in the uncertainty of COVID-19, please remember that seniors, our disabled and veteran community are also feeling the effects of our current health situation. While many of us have been able to successfully switch to the virtual environment and socialization, while our aging seniors, disabled and veterans are not as technically savvy.
Many of their activities have been cancelled, postponed or have gone virtual. The Senior Zone, church gatherings, and family outings, senior, disabled and veterans are just doing well during this time. Aging in place is challenging for seniors but add to it a global virus and the anxious becomes much worse.
“Neighbors Helping Neighbors” is an initiative that can make a difference large or small. Do you live in a neighborhood with seniors, disabled and or a veteran homeowner? Please take a look at the above items. Take the time to show you care and lend a hand by using one of our 10 check list items to make a difference in someone’s day. The life you change just might be your own.
