The holidays are sneeking up on us! Before we know it, Thanksgiving will be here. November begins InterServ's Adopt-A-Senior Project. Many of the people we serve have very low income and lack resources they need to purchase even the most basic of items. You can help brighten the holiday for someone by adopting one of our seniors. Simply give us a call (816-238-4511 Ext. 29) or drop us an e-mail (lpiper@inter-serv.org) and we will give you a list of needed items for which you can shop, wrap, and return to be delivered by our staff. If you prefer not to shop, you may choose to sponsor the food cost for one of our seniors on the Mobile Meals waiting list. Your gift feeds homebound seniors and provides a wellness check by dedicated volunteers.
What do our seniors say about these projects?
"Mobile Meals are wonderful. I know I am getting a balanced meal when I eat these meals. That means I will get well soon and be up on my feet again."
"When you brought in the Christmas gifts, I couldn't believe my eyes. It's like - yes Virginia, there is a Santa Claus."
Will you help brighten the holidays for one of our seniors?

Here's a second to the gift of bringing the spirit of Christmas to seniors. The sense of loss and loneliness can be felt every time we deliver a Mobile Meal. When we deliver one of Peggy's special treats at a holiday we can see a notable change in the facial expression of the recipient. So, let's bring a touch of child like joy to our older neighbors.
Amen to that!
I hope all our volunteers realize the wonderful job they do everyday. They make the lifes of our seniors better. Just seeing a smiling face makes their day better. I am blessed to be part of InterServ.
