Palmetto Goodwill Golden Angel Program Provides Gifts and Meals for Seniors

 

December 13 – Charleston, SC – Palmetto Goodwill provided a holiday meal and gifts to 80 disadvantaged seniors at the Charleston Area Senior Center, located at 259 Meeting Street in downtown Charleston.  Additional meals and gifts are being distributed to more than 700 low income seniors in lower South Carolina during this holiday season.

Palmetto Goodwill Community and Corporate Relations Director Tina Marshall stated, “For the past 12 years, Palmetto Goodwill has helped meet the needs of thousands of disadvantaged seniors through the Golden Angel Program. With the support of the community, Goodwill has provided disadvantaged seniors with vouchers for cold weather clothing, blankets, gift cards for groceries, holiday meals and basic necessities many of us take for granted.”

Goodwill receives referrals for this program from senior service providers in the Tricounty, Grand Strand, Beaufort, Florence and Sumter.

Donations to the Golden Angel Program will be accepted until the end of the year.  If you would like to support seniors in our community, please consider a monetary donation to Goodwill in support of the Golden Angel program, or purchase a golden angel cutout at your nearby goodwill store. Your monetary donation will help Goodwill reach as many seniors as possible during the holiday season.
