Adopt-a-Senior for Christmas

Imagine if you were a senior citizen in a nursing home and no friends or relatives ever came to visit you — not even for holidays. Neighbor Love wants to brighten the day of a whole bunch of valuable seniors with its Adopt-a-Senior for Christmas program. Neighbor Love is hosting a Christmas party and giving gift bags to seniors at six nursing homes in metro Atlanta.
