Senior Services Seeks Holiday Gift Angels for Cumming's Senior Citizens

Be a holiday angel to a local senior citizen in need by participating in the 2013 Holiday Gift Angels Program. The program is presented by Forsyth County Senior Services.

“The Holiday Gift Angels Program helps spread holiday cheer and is a wonderful way to make a difference in the lives of our seniors,” Senior Services Director Michael Bohn said in a release. “During the holiday season, the gifts help remind our senior citizens that someone is thinking about them.”   

The gift request tags from senior citizens are now available at the following Forsyth County Senior Services locations:

Center at Charles Place, 595 Dahlonega Street 
(open weekdays from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.)   

Hearthstone Lodge Community Center, 7305 Lanier Drive 
(open weekdays from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m.)   

Sexton Hall Enrichment Center, 2115 Chloe Road 
(open weekdays from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.)   

Each gift request tag contains the name of a local senior citizen along with a gift idea for him/her. Those participating in the program may deliver the unwrapped gift in a gift bag   with the gift request tag attached (or another tag with the senior’s name and route number) to any of the three Forsyth County Senior Services locations weekdays until Dec. 6.   

Call Forsyth County Senior Services at 770-781-2178 to receive additional information about the 2013 Holiday Gift Angels Program.
