It’s Beginning to Look Alot Like Christmas

Deck the Halls with gifts for seniors…senior citizens, that is, with wish lists from the Wayne County Area Agency on Aging (WCAAA). Employees at Wayne Memorial Hospital (WMH) took on the role as Santa’s elves with gifts for local seniors. WMH Social Work Manager Mary Burgio-Terpak, LCSW received requests from more than 60 seniors. Many ask for simple necessities including household cleaning and laundry products, toiletries, even bed pillows, as well as pet food and litter. New this year, someone asked for bundles of firewood. The Wayne Memorial elves purchased it all and more: a big television, a couple of microwave ovens and lots of extras to help make it a merrier Christmas for homebound seniors throughout the area. Representatives from WCAAA picked up the truckloads yesterday for delivery in time for the holiday. Thank you everyone!
