Each year WilmingtonMom partners up with Elderhaus to provide a little Christmas spirit for participants in need. Elderhaus is an adult day service in Wilmington, NC that helps seniors in our community live independently, while also receiving assistance where needed. Last 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 & we were able to brighten the lives of 105 elderly in our area. Yay!

Thank you for blessing those around you and making their days a little bit brighter!
