In Kilgore, TX ❤️

We are so excited to kick off the 2026 Christmas Cards for Seniors Drive! It is our goal to help as many peopke living in care facilities as we can to not feel like Charlie Brown during the holiday season.

According to Texas Health Resources, about 51% to 55% of people report feeling lonely or isolated during the holiday season. And the American Association for Geriatric Psychiatry (AAGP) reports over 30% of nursing home residents experience depression.

We want to remind as many residents as we can that they are loved and not forgotten this holiday season. Please support our mission by signing cards at our table during events and at our collection sites, where you can also bring signed cards, blank card donations, and children's holiday artwork.

For more information, please drop us an inbox message or email [email protected]. Thank you and blessings this holiday season.

Sincerely,
Melissa and the Christmas Cards for Seniors Team

Our food drive wasn’t as big as I’d hoped, but we still filled the shelves! We took boxes of non-perishables, clothes and books to the Triumph Village 😁
Thank you Kevin and Krystal Guillot for gathering donations and helping deliver everything!
