It could be a heavy burden, or just a bad day, but lift someone up by paying for their coffee the next time you run by Starbucks!

There are many people in nursing homes who don’t have families to visit them during the holidays, and that can certainly be a lonely feeling. Send some cheer by becoming a pen pal, Love for our Elders is a great one!
