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

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 will be supplying a taco buffet and Starbucks will be supplying coffee 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 Sunday, June 16th, 530-730pm at Anderson Mill Nursing & Rehab. 2130 Anderson Mill Rd., Austell, GA 30106

Our goal is to provide a gift bag to EVERY senior man in Anderson Mill Nursing & Rehab totaling 30.

The gift bags will include: shaving cream, socks, a carnation, a piece of fruit, a hand-made Father’s Day Card, and a puzzle book. (exact contents of gift bag are subject to change according to availability of merchandise and the amount of donations received)

The cost to Adopt-a-Senior for Father’s Day is just $20 per gift bag. You can sponsor as many seniors as you would like. A donation of ANY amount is appreciated.
