Opportunities for Kindness
Support for our low income seniors
We are looking to help the residents of Stafford Village, the low income housing units for seniors, with Kroger gift cards for the holidays. There are 32 units and we would like to give them at least $25 each for the holidays. We did this last year and they were so excited and appreciative.
