Senior Corps extends thanks to community

Dear Editor,

I wanted to thank the individuals, community organizations and businesses of Kingman, and surrounding areas, for their donations to the Senior Angel Tree Program during the 2019 Holiday Season. Your contributions made local Senior Citizens very happy. Your generosity to older adults in need far surpassed any expectations I had. I am elated at the outpouring of kindness Kingman has shown to people that many forget about throughout the year. You gave limited-income seniors the opportunity to enjoy time with friends by providing gift cards to local restaurants. You helped them stay warm and clean by providing blankets, bedding, clothing and hygiene items. You provided them with a home cooked meal by giving gift cards to local grocery stores. You even took care of their pets by giving pet food, treats and toys. For your generous acts, I am grateful.

I also wanted to thank the City of Kingman and City employees for their continued support of this program. Without the City partnering with our organization during the Holidays, the Senior Angel Tree wouldn’t be successful. Special thanks to Annie Meredith, Kingman City Clerk, for her coordination of the project at the City Offices.

A big “Thank You” goes out to all of our Senior Corps Volunteers that give of their time to assist the people of Mohave County through our Senior Companion, Foster Grandparent and RSVP Programs. Without you, the world would be a much darker place.

Heather Brassil

Senior Corps Program Coordinator – Mohave County
