Adopt – A – Senior 2022

Each year WilmingtonMom partners up with Elderhaus to provide a little Christmas spirit for participants in need at Elderhaus. Elderhaus is an adult day service in Wilmington, NC that helps seniors in our community live independently, while also receiving assistance where needed. This year, our list for Elderhaus participants were claimed in under 48 hours, so we asked other assisted living and nursing homes if they had residents in need – so our list has grown and we are excited to see how we can make these seniors feel the love and care from our community!
