2013 Adopt-a-Senior for Father's Day - Lawrenceville

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, a ministry of E CUBED International, wants to brighten the day of a WHOLE BUNCH of valuable seniors. Adopt-a-Senior for Father’s Day is a GREAT way to let a valuable senior know that someone still loves them.

We are hosting a Father’s Day Mexican Fiesta and giving gift bags to seniors at four nursing homes in Metro Atlanta.  At the Fiesta, Barberito’s Mexican of Roswell will be supplying a taco buffet for the men to enjoy!

Our TOTAL goal is to bless 135 seniors with gift bags this Father’s Day.

Neighbor Love will be delivering gift bags of goodies to seniors during a Father’s Day party on Saturday, June 15th, 430-630pm at Life Care Center of Lawrenceville, 210 Collins Industrial Way, Lawrenceville, GA 30044
