As our years increase, it seems as though we have to hold our books and newspapers a little farther away until our arms aren’t long enough!

For our December Mission of the Month, we chose to gather large print books, word puzzle books, jigsaw puzzles, crossword puzzle books, sudoku books, and take them to two different senior assisted living homes.

We also gathered small embroidery kits, yarn, knitting needles/crochet hooks, colored pencils, and other items that will help the residents keep their fingers flexible and moving. Many seniors used to do these types of crafts, but now that they are living in a different place, they might not have all the familiar items they loved.

Below are a few pictures of the things gathered.
