Adopt-a-senior

 Hard to imagine except for the cooler weather but non-profits are beginning to set up their "adopt" programs for the holidays.

Bob and I have been adopting seniors for quite a few years... one of each sex.. and have signed up again.

Thank you Phoenix Family for running this.... Bob and I have helped our daughter shop for families that have signed up. I am always amazed at how organized this is... print outs of each family member, ages, sizes , wants and wishes for the kids. We go out late at night to shop so the stores aren't busy and fill cart after cart.... carefully organizing the bags after check out so the right family gets the right things. Then there is a big "wrap party"!!

Our senior adoptees also come with "wants and needs" sheets, sizes etc. We shop and wrap and deliver to Phoenix Family offices for delivery to the seniors. Last year one of our seniors wanted "learn to read" books...
