Isolation is just hard for anybody, so just to let them know they’re though of and appreciated.”This year there is a list of more than 100 people to be sponsored. The Home Instead office is set up with a tree decorated with tags, each labeled with a name of someone in need. Participants can shop specifically for the senior they choose to sponsor or donate basic gifts such as snacks and blankets.“We will be taking gifts in until December 4th. Then we have a big wrapping party every year where all the gits get wrapped and then they’re delivered throughout the next week or two. Because we handle delivery as well so we get them out in over a couple week span usually,” said Davis.For someone who is used to spending the holidays alone, a thoughtful gift is a great way to help them feel like a valued part of the community. If you’d like to adopt a senior, stop by Home Instead’s office at 196 Cheyenne Drive in Jackson. </div></body>
