Adopt-A-Senior This Holiday Season Cherokee County Senior Services is asking for donations for its annual Adopt-A-Senior program.“We routinely receive phone calls from seniors requesting financial assistance with everything from utilities to groceries,” said Cherokee County Senior Services Resource Coordinator De Gale. “Since most of these folks live on a tight budget, we reach out to the community each year to ask for assistance in gathering their requested Christmas gifts.”Requested items include flashlights with batteries; $30 gift cards to local grocery stores; reacher/grabber tools; stamps; small boxes of chocolate; and nonperishable items such as toiletries, lip balm, tissues, and lotion. Senior Services will accept donations through December 1. Gifts can be dropped off at the Cherokee County Senior Center (1001 Univeter Road, Canton). Drop-off times are Monday through Friday, 8:00am-4:00pm, and on two Saturdays — November 18 and December 2 — 10:00am-12:00pm. All items should be new, unwrapped, and placed in a holiday gift bag. The program, which has been in effect for more than 20 years, serves an average of 250 seniors. For additional information, contact Cherokee County Senior Services at 770-345-3025.
