FRANKLIN COUNTY OFFICE OF AGING TO CONDUCT THE 3rd ANNUAL SENIOR GIVING TREE ROCKY MOUNT, VIRGINIA, NOVEMBER 15, 2021- The holiday season can be a difficult and lonely time for our fifty plus population in Franklin County. Many Senior Citizens have lost or have no family members and they might not receive a holiday gift. However, you can us help by picking a star from our Senior Giving Tree. Your donation will help bring some holiday cheer to those over fifty plus in need in our own backyard. The Office of Aging is working with various local non- profit groups to make sure we provide much needed items to brighten senior lives during the holiday season.
If you would like to help, please come by the Office of Aging, located at the Essig Recreation Center, at 295 Technology Drive Rocky Mount, VA 24151 and pick up a star with a Senior Citizen’s gift request on it. After shopping, please bring back unwrapped items to the Essig Recreation Center by December 15th.
All items collected will be put into reusable cloth bags and given to seniors who appreciate your efforts and assistance during one of the most beautiful times of the year. Last year we were able to deliver 175 bags of Holiday cheer to local Senior Citizens. We hope to help even more senior citizens this year!
