HELP NEEDY ELDERLY THIS CHRISTMAS

Maureen Schmidt, Neighbor

HearingPRO has announced that they will be sponsoring needy nursing home residentsat Hidden Lake Nursing Facility in North St. Louis County.While children are often the focus of the Christmas season, we must not forget about the elderly. Theholidays can be a very lonely time for senior citizens and this loneliness is felt even more keenly by thosethat have no family with which to share this joyous season. While doing other types of community outreachHearingPRO staffers noticed the isolation some residents were experiencing and saw yet another way togive back to the St. Louis area. After getting in touch with the Residency Coordinator at Hidden Lake,HearingPRO was able to sponsor 5 of their neediest residents.All HearingPRO offices in the area will be accepting donations for residents in need. Items most neededare clothes and personal care items. These donations will be distributed at Hidden Lake on December 23 at10:00 am.For more information please call Maureen Schmidt at 636-970-1970 or go tohttp://www.myhearingpro.com/hearing-loss/needy-residents/ for information on needed items.
