Stockings for Seniors

The holidays can be one of the hardest times for seniors in our society. Some seniors do not get to see their families for numerous reasons while others have no family at all.

The Mount Rainier Recreation Committee is teaming up with the 6th graders at Mount Rainier Elementary School to host a reception/party for the seniors at Rainier Manor. We are calling this outreach, “Stocking for Seniors”. Each participating senior will receive a hand craft made by a 6th grade student and a stocking full of goodies provided by the recreation committee.

The recreation committee will also be providing refreshments, music, and games for the seniors.

We are planning to do a similar outreach in the community with our middle and high schoolers. They would go around to the homes of seniors, identified by our city social worker to visit with them and take them a stocking as well. After the visitations, we will be hosting an after party for the middle and high schoolers. We will have pizza, drinks, games, and fun! *Location for party TBA

If you have a teen in the community who would like to participate in our city-wide effort and after party, please email us at RecreationCommittee@MountRainierMD.org or call city hall and let them know you would like to speak with one of us about this program.

If you would like to make a donation towards the stockings, you can contact us at the above email or through city hall.
