Holiday Giving Drive

 

Each year we ask the community to pitch in and make the holidays brighter for someone in need by sponsoring a senior or an adult with a disability.  Sponsorship includes fulfilling the "wish lists" of one or more clients with gifts costing about $30-$50 per person. You have the option of wrapping and delivering your gift yourself or dropping it off at Family Eldercare's offices. 

This annual event provides gifts to over 300 seniors and adults with disabilities in Travis and Williamson Counties who would otherwise not receive a gift.

Early bird registration has already begun (ends May 6!), and regular registration will continue through the event day. We hope that you will register and spread the word to friends and family.
