1st Annual
Goshen Township
Adopt– A-Senior

For thousands of American senior citizens, December 25th is just the day that follows December 24th on a calendar. Without funds or family, many seniors are left alone and with no gifts to open on Christmas Day. That’s where you come in.
What it is:
Adopt-A-Senior is a program that works with Clermont Senior Services to pair seniors in need with individuals and organizations in their area willing to help brighten their holiday. Your Donations and dollars WILL help a Goshen senior.

Goshen Township
Adopt-A-Senior

How it works:
It’s simple. You pick a senior’s “wish list” off of the Christmas tree in the Administration building and get shopping! You can help as many or as few seniors as your heart and budget allow. Once you’ve fulfilled the senior’s wish list, just bring the gifts and the list back to Mandy in the Administration building. She’ll wrap them. Then on December 13th, volunteers from the Township get together with the seniors for the gift giving.
What’s on these wish lists?
Nothing expensive. The wish lists will be made up mostly of standard of living items like bathrobes, slippers, pillow cases and sheets, cleaning supplies, or personal hygiene items. There will also be luxury items, such as a box of chocolates or a crossword puzzle.
I don’t have time to shop, can I still help?
Of course! Essentials like personal hygiene items, cleaning items, gift cards to Kroger, or cash donations are always in high demand. Just bring in your gift, and we’ll pair it with the right senior.
I can’t afford to give a gift, can I still get involved?
Of course! For many of these seniors, the gift of your company means more than any gift you could buy. Join us on December 13th when we deliver the gifts, and watch as you change their entire day just by caring.
An added bonus to you:
Since these donations are going to a charitable cause, you can write the costs off on your year end taxes.
