An island woman and her family are hoping to make this holiday season special for some local seniors in need by creating gift baskets to be handed out at Christmas time. Karen Bartley is collecting donations of baskets of all sizes, household items, food, lap blankets, slippers and “anything that would bring a smile to a senior in need’s face,” she said. She is also collecting cash donations to help purchase gifts. Bartley and her family will assemble the baskets and give them to seniors in need around Christmas. Items and cash donations should be dropped off by Dec. 23 at the Vashon Senior Center on Bank Road. The center is open from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday. For more information, contact Bartley at kbartley@ centurytel.net
