In partnership with the agency that offers the popular “Meals on Wheels”
program, the Hamilton County Democratic Party (HCDP) is sponsoring the “Santas
for Seniors” project, collecting items for gender-neutral gift bags that will be
distributed to homebound seniors who otherwise might not be remembered
during the holiday season.
Each gift bag – which will be packaged and delivered by the “Wheels” organizers –
will be valued at $25. A list of suggested donations is below. ($25 checks will also
be accepted; make them out to the Southeast Tennessee Area Agency on Aging
and Disability (SETAAAD).)
HCDP members, friends and supporters are encouraged to bring their donations
to HCDP headquarters – 1089 Bailey Ave., Chattanooga – during the following
designated drop-off times:
