The Retired Senior Volun-teer Program (RSVP) spread much joy throughout the Christmas season across Pender County and provided gifts, smiles, and love through-out the community.

Thank you to all the won-derful RSVP volunteers for the extra time and warmth they added to this special season of the year.

Special thanks to Dolores Huffman and Arlene Chem-

ers for their homemade “heat pad” creations.

Each homebound senior received this special wrapped gift. Reindeer cookies, home-made pound cakes (made by the Harvey/Keith families), candy canes and Christmas cards were lovingly distrib-uted.

Thank you to our terrific RSVP volunteers and to many in the community that help us spread the joy during this

season of giving.Topsail Senior Center vol-

unteers helped the American Legion with food distribu-tion to the homebound in the Hampstead Area.

Heritage Place seniors helped Trask High School with a Bright Ideas Project. Seniors cut fleece material into 225 scarves and 24 blan-kets so that students could tie the fringe and distribute to the area homeless.

Pender County Master Gardeners created more than 150 beautiful greenery ar-rangements for home deliv-ered meals clients.

Donations for the Toys for Tots program were collected at all three agency sites. A truckload of red sacks will be distributed to area children

thanks to the generosity of Pender Adult Services par-ticipants at Heritage Place, Fitness Fusion and Topsail Senior Center.
