Can you give some time to care for Berrien County senior citizens?

Senior Care Kits bring joy to many low-income, homebound senior citizens living in our communities. This holiday season, we're assembling 1,200 Senior Care Kits — and we could use your help!

These gift-wrapped packages are full of basic hygiene items like:

• Shampoo
• Lotion
• First Aid kits
• Puzzle books
• Playing cards
• Candy
• and more!

Senior Care Kits help seniors living on limited incomes by providing essential items and reducing the financial strain of everyday and medical-related expenses. And, it lets them know their neighbors are thinking of them.

How you can help

We need a lot of volunteers! Each person who signs up will come to BCF to pick up everything needed to pack 10 kits along with an instruction booklet on Tuesday, December 1. This is a great service project to do with family, friends or coworkers! All packages must be returned by 6 p.m. Monday, December 7 so they can then head out the door to our friends at Area Agency on Aging and Meals on Wheels for delivery before Christmas. 

The Lester & Barbara Page Sr. Endowment Fund at Berrien Community Foundation helps to fund this project along with support from Frederick S. Upton Foundation and private donations, and an in-kind donation from Honor Credit Union.
