I'm going to buy one of everything on this list... will you do the same? I feel like I have a blessed life and this is something small that I can do easily.
If you want to help out send me an email carrie@975klak.com or just drop off your donations this Saturday at the McKinney YMCA.
Thanks. Carrie
McKinney Family YMCA My Challenge Community Service Project
Saturday November 6th 11am-1pm
Collin County Meals on Wheels serves homebound seniors in our area. Each day, homebound seniors look forward to a meal and a personal visit from volunteers. In past years, meals were delivered by the police department on Thanksgiving Day. This year, due to budget cut backs, the police department will not be able to deliver their meals. Meals on Wheels will be delivering items prior to Thanksgiving Day to brighten their holiday. The McKinney YMCA volunteers would like to help in this effort by providing the needed items. In addition, many seniors only companionship is there pet, so the YMCA will also be accepting pet food donations as well. Thanks to a generous donor, Meals on Wheels just received dog food. However, many seniors have cats, and Meals on Wheels would appreciate donations of dry cat food.
Collin County Teen Court has selected 20 teens who will be participating in their service project at the YMCA. They will be collecting and organizing needed donations and making gift boxes for the seniors. Please help us make Thanksgiving Day a special day for our seniors.
