THANK YOU!!!

Good news! Thanks to the generosity of friends and neighbors like you, Make a Senior Smile was able to donate over 130 care packages to SAGE Eldercare yesterday, just in time for Valentine’s Day! Because of you, local seniors will now receive special care packages including everything from warm socks and blankets to candy, cookies, puzzle books, and homemade cards with their Meals on Wheels.

A huge thank you to everyone who came together to help donate items and bring a little cheer to our Summit-area seniors!

Thanks to Terry Kaniuk at SAGE Eldercare and to all of the Meals on Wheels volunteers who provide such important care and support to our seniors every day.

Thanks also to Antonietta LeVecchia at The UPS Store 5872 for partnering with us again this year to provide an additional drop-off site downtown.

Thanks to the Girl Scouts for the beautiful homemade cards; Ernesta in downtown Summit for the paper flower bouquets; and special thanks also to Jennifer Hopkins and the Springfield-Hillside Elks Lodge #2004 for your very generous donations!

Be sure to check back with MAKE A SENIOR SMILE in the coming months for more opportunities to make a difference!

JUST 3 DAYS LEFT to donate to MAKE A SENIOR SMILE! If you’d like to help bring a little Valentine’s Day cheer to our local seniors—there’s still time!

We want to make sure that as many seniors as possible receive a care package this winter, so please donate items before our deadline this coming MONDAY, FEBRUARY 9th!

Make a Senior Smile gathers items for special care packages to be delivered to local seniors through SAGE Eldercare's Meals on Wheels program. Over the past five years, this hometown student-run service project has donated hundreds of care packages to our Summit-area seniors—all thanks to the generosity of friends and neighbors like you!

To donate, simply drop off items at 160 OAK RIDGE AVENUE here in Summit (in the container by the front door) and or at the UPS store downtown (55 Union Place) and we’ll make sure they’re wrapped and delivered to SAGE Eldercare for their Meals on Wheels program. (Please make sure any donations left at UPS are clearly marked “Make a Senior Smile.”)

Suggested items include: instant oatmeal packets, granola/protein bars, low-sodium soups (pull-tab, easy-open cans only), single-serving food cups, cookies, crackers, and candy, warm blankets and socks, and homemade cards. Other items welcome!

We’re also accepting donations of crosswords, sudoku, and puzzle books, which help to stimulate the mind and promote relaxation and mental and physical healing.

All items must be new and do not have to be Valentine’s Day themed. If you’re donating food, expiration dates must be in 2026 or later. Because these items are for seniors, low-sodium/low-sugar items are preferred.

Special thanks to Antonietta LaVecchia at The UPS Store 5872 for partnering with us this winter!
