Seniors who are homebound often struggle to acquire many of the basic necessities of daily life that a lot of us take for granted. For older adults living with health challenges, on fixed incomes, or who simply lack access, these wish list items are very much needed and especially appreciated!
In addition to our annual Christmas in July and Remember in December donation drives, Senior Services accepts donated supplies throughout the year from the list below for our participants in need of additional support. We are happy to provide a letter of receipt to donors of these items.
Please note there are several items that we are not able to accept, including large medical equipment (hospital beds, Hoyer lifts, power wheelchairs, etc.), medical supplies (oxygen tubing and masks, wound care supplies, orthotics and braces), clothing and bedding, and other portable and durable medical equipment such as wheelchairs, walkers and canes.
Please choose items from the list below. These donated items can be dropped off to Senior Services at 2895 Shorefair Drive Monday through Friday, between 9:00AM and 4:00PM. The following basic items are needed throughout the year:
