This will be the easiest feel good thing you do all year....I promise.
You can call and ask them to tell you what someone wants and just drop it by....or have someone text a picture. I think just picking up simple supplies and letting the nurses sort out who might want it would work too.
Its the most simple requests.....pajamas, candy, sweat suits, brush, comb, house shoes, socks ...SOCKS were a big request last year for several people.
Puzzle books, word search and such are good too.
This is one I'm handling this year. Time is short though....this one has to be filled by December 9th. Other places will have different dates they need Angels filled.
Give it a try, you'll look forward to doing it next year!

God bless you, you have a big heart, the world needs more people like you.
Great idea Kacey, I'll check our local places!
Not me personally
But for our Small Town. Our Lions Club Does 5 Angels at the Nursing Home and 5 for Shut in Seniors, as well as filling in Angels at the Local School System for less fortunately kido's
Club along with our younger Leo Lions, .is doing 25 Christmas food Baskets for famlies,
Some of us here , are retired, or have some extra time. Think about giving some of your time back to your Communities . It feels go good.
I even grow out my White beard for the season, just to feel Jolly. When I hand out Presents
Our church sponsors a nursing home every year as well as a veteran's program and juvenile group home. I look forward to this time of year and the opportunities to share blessings with others.
Have done that in the past. Went to the mall and picked names off the trees they have in there. It was fun, like you say.
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
Great idea. Good on you.
Local Walmart has at least one maybe two Christmas wish trees one for kids and one for the older people I have not looked this year but fairly sure they have in the past
Even a small gift makes someone feel they are still loved and thought about
My wife DIL and youngest son led a Christmas parade in a golf cart
in town evan local couple dressed as Mr and Mrs clause
they Tossed out candy to the kids
I think My wife got just as much fun as the kids .
Any way taking a few dollars or better yet time to visit means a lot to so many
Thank all of you who do this
bless you Kasey for your efforts also
Columbia County has both a VA-Hospital and a VA-Domiciliary. The domiciliary especially welcomes socks, house shoes, pajamas, personal grooming items and so on. Many of the residents do not have any family nearby to see to their needs.
