As we head into a difficult holiday season, Legacy Co-op is hoping to make things a bit brighter this Christmas with its Season of Giving and the Gifts for Seniors campaign.
This brings personalized gifts and letters of love to the 312 seniors in the residential care facilities in the communities of Yorkton, Saltcoats, Kamsack and Theodore.
“We identified earlier on this fall that with the additional challenges and restrictions surrounding COVID-19, our Seniors are really going to feel the impact and Christmas may be an even lonelier time than usual,” said Co-op General Manager Bruce Thurston.
“Many of the seniors in these facilities have minimal outside contact. At this time of year, to get a personalized gift and a letter from someone who cares about them, can really make their day.”
Working with the care home teams, Legacy Co-op has donated funds to allow for the purchase of a personalized gift which each resident will receive along with a Christmas letter from the Legacy Co-op team.
“Our team members are happy to be able to give back to the community and spend a little time on these letters to bring some joy to our senior members,” said Thurston. “Every year, we give back to our community through donations and time, however this Christmas we feel that there is an even greater need, and our Season of Giving helps to address that need.”
