We will be joining the Random Acts of Kindness Volunteer/ Non-Profit Meetup group. See http://museum.meetup.com/75/ We currently have 40 RSVP's on Random Acts.
We will be a group of friendly visitors for an afternoon at Ashford Hall Nursing Home in Irving, TX. As a group, we'll have a Bingo game for the residents as well as do one on one visits with room bound residents.
For our December visit, we will be bringing small presents to the residents. We already have plenty of candy for them. Please consider bringing a stuffed animal (you can get them cheap at a dollar store) or some other small decorative item for a nursing home room.
The residents absolutely love playing Bingo as well as visiting with us one on one. After Random Acts' visits, so many told me how much they enjoyed having us there and how grateful they were that we "choose" their facility :-) Random Acts goes to Ashford Hall on the first Sunday of every month.
In Dallas County alone, over 50% of nursing home residents receive few, if any, visitors during their stay. Please come out and let these seniors know that they are not forgotten. Your presence will make a huge impact on their lives. Lets show some love at Ashford Hall :-)
Thanks to all of you
