Programs Brightens Holidays

Editor:

On behalf of the staff at Home Instead Senior Care, we would like to thank everyone who helped with this year’s very successful “Be a Santa to a Senior” program.

With support from generous shoppers, Shore-up, Inc, MAC Area Agency on Aging, Worcester County Commission on Aging, Worcester County Departments of Health and Social Services, Apple Drug Stores in Berlin, Fruitland, Salisbury and Snow Hill, Greater Salisbury Chamber of Commerce and Ocean Pines Community Center, we were able to collect 205 gifts for local seniors who otherwise might have been overlooked this holiday season.

Thank you again to all those who helped us brighten the holidays for our local seniors and truly making a difference in our community.
