Shout out to TX and our sweet friend Anne Martinsen for this great box of "Odds and Ends"
Birthday bookmarks and tags, thank you cards, written birthday cards, word puzzle books and gifts.
Many items that we use all year round for packing our birthday goody bags
Drawstring bags are always used for some of our Christmas gifts, so these are great
Thank you Anne 🥰❤️

It is officially here! The Christmas in July list for Stockings for Seniors.
We will start collecting now, through the month of July and then continuing through to Christmas.
Help us get out supplies together, so we can start packing early and be prepared for the season.
We are also collecting Christmas cards, preferably written and small crochet /handmade items to add to the stockings.
These lists have been crafted by a survey to our local nursing home activity directors and staff to see what they need, what the residents like and then set accordingly. Please do not deviate from this list without checking in with us first.
We are still looking for local drop off sites for our Christmas in July to run from July 6th thru July 31st.
We are also looking for a couple of permanent collection spots between now and Christmas to expand our drop off locations.
Thanks for helping us bring Smiles to SEniors this holiday.
Our amazon wish list is also set up and ready to go.
BRInG IT ON!

We love to partner with local organizations and we're so thankful to For The Love of Pete's Pantry in New Jersey for sharing some needed socks for two of our nursing homes.
Atlas at West Deptford and Oasis at the Crescent 🥰
A fun day of Sock Shenanigans 🧦

There's been a lot of SOCK SHENANIGANS this week!!
While we are anxiously awaiting a delivery of 10,000 Bombas socks (which had to be pushed back till September due to scheduling conflicts) we still have a few cases on hand and we love to share!
Our dear friend Ana Diaz took a case (250 pair!) and distributed some to Va. Clinic in Sewell and some to Veterans Haven Transitional Facility in Winslow. The veterans are always excited to receive new socks!
We also shared a case with Vicky Olson from Sonshine & Smiles and she split them between two Nursing Homes who requested socks! Half went to Atlas Rehabilitation and Healthcare in Deptford where she visited with the Activity Director and her Assistant. The other half will be going to Oasis at the Crescent in Pennsauken. Just like the veterans, the seniors love to receive new socks!
It was a great day for some SOCK SHENANIGANS! Thanks so much to Bombas for your incredible sock donations. Their motto is "when you buy a pair, we donate a pair" and we can tell you...they definitely do! Their generosity is incredible and we are so grateful for their kindness and support. ❤️

Did some Father's Day packing of my own this past weekend. Sometimes with all the administration that I have to do,I don't get to do the fun stuff of packing items. We had some last minute donations, so I put them all together ready to go out. 💙🥰

So excited to meet Jeffrey from Nesevich Law, LLC and co-worker last weekend. They were in charge of a sand art project which looks amazingly fun.
All these cute little bottles of sand art that the kids made on Moorestown Day, made their way into some of our Father's Day gifts.💙
We are so thankful to Nesevich Law LLC f for their continued support and donations to bring smiles to our seniors.
Thanks 🥰

One of our nursing homes is in need of a few items. We added them to an Amazon wish list and they will be shipped directly to the activity director.
Thank you for considering helping out.
One of the items on the list is needed by June 18.
