Pahl’s Market is proud to host a barrel for the Gifts for Seniors Organization for the 11th year. Gifts for Seniors strives to alleviate the loss of connection to community and the devastating spiral into loneliness that negatively impacts health and wellbeing. Much needed resources are gifted to older adults, but the true gift is the life-affirming personal contact. These social visits are also critical for identifying instances of self-neglect, abuse and exploitation.
With the critical support of donors, volunteers, & community partnerships, Gifts for Seniors served over 6,000 seniors in need last holiday season. Please join us in bringing warmth and joy to our elder community members!
