The Holiday Project's Grandparent's Day Volunteer Visit


Holidays are the times for connecting … with family...friends...the community at large. Many people are cut off from this connection due to health problems, advanced age, or other circumstances. The Holiday Project provides volunteers with opportunities to let these persons know that they have not been forgotten and to brighten their lives by brightening their day!
This is done through organized visits to nursing facilities and hospitals in celebration of selected holidays throughout the year:

Grandparents Day Saturday - 9/10/11 (9:30 a.m.)
Veterans Day - 11/11/11 (9:30 a.m.)(tentative)
Thanksgiving Day - 11/24/11 (9:30 a.m.)
Christmas Day - 12/25/11 (9:30 a.m. / 12 Noon)


Volunteers gather at their choice of the three meeting sites listed below and are organized into teams visit assigned locations. (Each volunteer is responsible for his/her own transportation.)
