CHEERS! to community supporting seniors

Supporting services for seniors are: Jennifer Johnston of Community Care for Seniors; Joan Marie, Julie Scrivens, and Bryan from Sonrise Christian Academy; Jason Cumpsty, Rick Carvso from the Picton Kinsmen Club; Jason Young of the PEC Fire Dept; and Brian Lindersmith, Kinsmen Club.

A $265.05 donation from a recent electronics recycling event at Picton’s Home Hardware will be used to help fund a Christmas meal for seniors in Prince Edward County.
The electronics event involved volunteers from Kinsmen; Sonrise Christian Academy and the Picton and Hallowell districts of the Prince Edward County Fire Department and volunteers within the groups decided to forward the funds to the Prince Edward Community Care for Seniors to reach seniors in a rural part of The County.
A special Christmas Dinner for seniors will be held in the Hillier Town Hall.  This is a new location for the agency to hold an event for seniors.
“Community Care is grateful for this donation which was also an incentive to offer an event in a new location,” says Debbie MacDonald Moynes, executive director. “If it’s successful, we will consider having future programming at the Hillier Town Hall.”
The luncheon will be a traditional Christmas dinner featuring homemade soup, roast turkey with mashed potatoes and dressing, gravy, cranberry sauce, turnip, coleslaw, rolls and butter.  For dessert the seniors will enjoy Christmas Pudding with their coffee or tea.  To reduce the work for the Community Care volunteers who help at the event, participants are asked to bring along a soup bowl, plate, cup and cutlery. For details on the fee for the meal and on transportation, call Community Care at 613-476-7493 by Monday, Dec, 12th.
