Come down to Josephine’s or Revival anytime between November 18th and December 20th to pick up some shoe boxes to fill up for a local grandparent. For those of us who are blessed with family and friends help us love on our elderly community and grandparents who might be alone this season. We want to show them some extra love and attention with a gift box created by you. Please returned your gift boxes to either Jo’s or Revival by December 20th with a hand written Christmas card by you or your kids. Boxes will be given to Retsil Veterans Home, other elderly home care facilities, and charities in the area. The following is a list of items many residence need and would be great to fill or include alongside your box!
