It’s Day 2 of our 12 Days of Giving! Today we are taking a look at how to support seniors in our community. Spreading some kindness to support seniors in our communities can take on many forms. It can be as simple as sending a letter to a senior in care or even purchasing a wish list item for a senior's stocking. Other ideas could be donating your time or providing financial means to local organizations aimed at breaking the cycles of poverty and isolation. The possibilities are endless. Learn how you can get involved and support seniors in your community: https://bit.ly/12DaysOfGivingSFU
