What our volunteers say about Gifts for Seniors:

- Thank you for your excellent management of the Gifts for Seniors program! It's success is due in large part to your thoughtful care of everyone involved.  I enjoyed the [volunteer] experience of the program very much! - Mary in Fridley, MN

- I wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed working the "Gifts for Seniors". It has been such a rewarding experience. I hope to be back helping you next season.  Thank you. - Debbie in Minneapolis, MN

What our representatives from collaborating agencies say about Gifts for Seniors:

- Thank you so very much for your Gifts for Seniors Program.  I can't tell you enough how truly humbling it is to "shop" for the clients and then to wrap and give the gifts to clients.  Your program donations are so appropriate for the clients and so needed.  Chris and I felt privileged to be able to select the perfect thing for clients given the many choices to choose from. You know how it troubles me to see our clients with no blankets, pillows, and bed sheets.  So thank you a million times for your energy and organizational skills and I hope you know that your gifts last all year long.  We will never forget the Gifts for Seniors program. - Susan, assisted living residence, Minneapolis, MN

 
From Kristine Poelzer - Project Manager

I want to share with you a few of the digital photos sent to me on a CD from one of our collaborating agencies - scenes from their isolated seniors receiving gifts this year through Gifts for Seniors.  Your support of our program made it possible for so many seniors to be remembered with a gift.
