Alton, Mo. – The Alton Senior Center is starting its Blessing Boxes for the holidays. Since seniors are on fixed budgets, spending extra money on holiday celebrations is sometimes impossible. Here’s how you can help.
Donations?
The center seeks individuals or groups to donate items to complete a holiday meal. You can donate one or two items, or enough to complete a meal. Each donation helps.
Example items are but not limited to:
- Instant mashed potatoes
- Canned Vegetables
- Stuffing Mix
- Gravy Mix
- Canned Fruit
- Brown and Serve Rolls
- Canned Hams
- Frozen hams/turkeys
- Pie
When Can I Donate?
You can drop off items at the center Monday-Friday between 8-3:30. This continues through Thanksgiving and Christmas.
For questions or concerns, do not hesitate to call 417-778-7342.
