Working with Berkeley connects me to many different organizations in the community, and I was fortunate enough to be able to work with the seniors in the Mt. Pleasant, Awendaw and South Santee area. This Christmas the supervisor over the senior centers got Christmas lists from all the seniors. An organization known as Families Helping Families: Palmetto Project got donations and was able to bless the seniors with an ample amount of gits. Seeing all the seniors happy and excited was definitely the highlight of my holiday experience this year. If you would like to see what Families Helping Families: Palmetto Project is all about visit palmettoproject.org.
Pictures: I was not able to get pictures of the seniors opening their gifts because I was in charge of handing the gifts out and making sure they all went to the right person, but trust me when I say the smile on their faces was more than enough to light up my holiday break!
