For more than ten years MDJH has partnered with St. Patrick’s Mercy Home to provide gifts for their seniors who may not have anyone to give them a gift. They are too often forgotten at this time of year. Ours are the only gift they may receive.
We receive a list of wish items for seniors. Some lists are bigger than others and some are quite small.
Students are asked to bring in a monetary donation toward the purchase of items requested OR students are also able to bring in the following items:
- Dry hair shampoo (Ex. – Batiste)
- Shampoo / Conditioner (low scent)
- Body lotion (low scent)
- Body wash (low scent) – No bar soaps please
- Baby powder
- Toothpaste
- Nail polish – neutral colours, reds, pinks
- Treats
- chewing gum
- soft cheesies
- chocolate bars (no nuts or chewy – just plain chocolate)
- soft candy
- soft drinks – mini or regular cans (Ginger Ale or diet Pepsi))
- Crossword or word search books (large print)
- Canvas for painting (8.5 x 11 is best)
- Paint brushes – variety of sizes
- Gift Cards – Tim Hortons/Dollarama (Recreation Therapy takes residents on outings and they often stop at Tim Hortons to get residents coffee, etc.)
Every homeroom will also sign a Christmas card for the seniors.
This is a very heartwarming project. Thank you for your continued support!
All donations must be handed in to room 222 (Ms. Sauvé) by Monday, December 11th.
