2014 Adopt-a-Senior Valentine


Imagine if you were a senior citizen in a nursing home and had no friends or relatives to visit or contact you. ANY holiday would not be that pleasant. THIS Valentine’s Day

Neighbor Love wants to brighten the day of a WHOLE BUNCH of valuable seniors. Adopt-a-Senior Valentine is a GREAT way to let a valuable senior know that someone still loves them.

We are hosting a Valentine’s party and giving gift bags to seniors at four nursing homes in Metro Atlanta. Our TOTAL goal is to bless 600 seniors with gift bags this Valentine’s season.
