The committee for Needy Senior Citizens at Christmas
needs the community’s help again this year.
People can make a difference in the lives of
senior citizens who are lonely and isolated by purchasing a
gift and making their Christmas a little brighter.
Project Star is now kicking off its seventh year
and has delivered gifts to more than 1,000 elderly citizens
throughout the county. Individuals are asked to take a star
from the Project Star Christmas Trees located at various businesses
around Ashe County. The star will have suggested items needed
for gift buying.
Items should be delivered to Appalachian Senior
Programs, located at 414 East Main St. in Jefferson. The Department
of Social Services, Ashe Really Cares, Appalachian Senior Programs,
Spruce Hill Apartments and other local agencies will provide
delivery to the seniors. Trees will be up and ready at Food
Lion, Wendy’s and Sallie Mae’s Emporium, beginning
Friday, Nov. 7, after 1 p.m.
Two hundred Senior Citizens will have a better
Christmas this year due to the generosity of the people of Ashe
County. Donations will be accepted, and checks should be made
to CNSC, PO Box 605, Jefferson, N.C. 28640. For more information,
call (336) 846-4898.
