Two Worthy Holiday Causes

2008 November 12
by Liz

With the holidays approaching, I’ve learned about two worthy causes to help out those in need at this time of year.  The first is a program through the Home Instead Senior Care office called Be a Santa to a Senior.  This program is simple.  If you are in any of the local WalMarts between November 19th and December 10th, there will be Christmas trees decorated with ornaments that will have the first name of a local deserving senior and an item that they need.  Simply choose an ornament, buy the item and return the gift, along with the ornament to the store.

The other worthy cause is being held at the FSK Mall and it’s called Operation PJ Pile Up.

This Holiday Season, PREIT and its malls have partnered with the Pajama Program to deliver warm sleepwear and nurturing books to children who until now have done without.

Please donate a NEW pair of pajamas or a NEW book at the Operation PJ Pile Up collection bin in the mall. Sizes ranging from toddler to adult are welcome. To thank you for your donation, several mall retailers and our Santa Photo vendor have special offers for you.

The new items will be delivered by the Pajama Program to children in our local area during the Holidays and this winter.
