What are Senior Baskets anyway?

Around 10 years ago Edith Houk, a former member, volunteered at the food pantry. She observed that at Christmastime individuals, groups, and companies would bring special gifts for the children whose parents depended on the food pantry. The Seniors would come and go as usual and maybe get a 'Merry Christmas.’ What could we do about it? With the help of the congregation Senior Baskets was born. Baskets are filled with personal care products, a special little gift, small game or a deck of cards, a goodie to eat, etc. A hand- crafted Christmas decoration is always included. You guessed it. It's a snowman this year. These are given to Seniors who use the pantries in Flemington and Clinton. Thanks to all the Women of Zion who painted 100 snowmen.
