Gift Tree Brightens the Holidays for Older Adults

LEXINGTON, Ky. (Dec. 17, 2012) — It's not too late to bring a smile to the face of an older adult in the Central Kentucky community this holiday season. The University of Kentucky Sanders-Brown Center on Aging is sponsoring a holiday gift tree for senior citizens.

The tree is filled with tags detailing wished-for items. Some of the items are physical objects, while others are non-tangible goods like transportation services, registration at an Alzheimer's workshop, or other experiences that would benefit older adults.

To take part in the gift tree, simply stop by the Sanders-Brown Clinic at 1030 S. Broadway, Lexington. Select a tag, and return the wrapped gift to Sanders-Brown by Dec. 19.
