Did you know, that Mary Kay Consultants all over the United States, host “Adopt A Grandparent” programs during the holidays?
About a month ago, Mary Kay Independent Senior Sales Director Ann Alexis-Hamilton began organizing in Prince William County to support the “Adopt-A-Grandparent” program for senior citizens residing at the Westminster at Lake Ridge.
“This year it came about because I have a new client, Ms. Susan Hadeka, director of nurses at Westminster at Lake Ridge and asked her if we can do the program this year. She connected be with Ms. Laura Krause, activities director at Westminster, who was excited about the program,” said Alexis-Hamilton.
Mrs. Alexis-Hamilton worked with a team of six Mary Kay Consultants, and through the giving spirit of members of the Greater Prince William Community, collected 104 gift donations to spread holiday cheer to seniors at Westminster. The largest organization to sponsor gifts for seniors was the Pi Lambda Lambda chapter of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc., with over 30 donations.
The Adopt A Grandparent program is important for senior citizens, as many may not have had visitors over the holidays, and the program creates an opportunity for volunteers of all ages, to spread joy to those who need it most.
“As a small business owner for over 17 years, I believe it is important to give back to our community,” said Alexis-Hamilton. The Adopt A Grandparent program is about giving back to the elderly with: sharing a gift, a smile, and some conversation, but most of all to share the greatest gift of all, love.”
