Special to the Leader & Times
People in the community can make Christmas special for a senior citizen in Liberal nursing home by picking up a Silver Tree tag from the tree at the KSCB-The Legend radio station at 1410 N. Western Ave. during business hours. Sponsored by the Liberal Area Coalition for Families, there are 81 tags to choose from on the tree.
"The tags let you know if it's for a female or male and what the resident has listed as their interests and needs," LACF President Kay Burtzloff said. "There were some unique requests this year, including one gentleman wanting a leaf blower."
Good Samaritan Center, Wheatridge Care Center and Homestead Estates all provided information for the 81 tags.
The deadline for returning the gifts, either wrapped or in a gift bag with the tag, is Dec. 15.
"We will then deliver all the gifts to the different centers that week so that they will have them in time for Christmas,” Burtzloff said.
