5th Annual Stockings for Seniors

Written By Marcie Dumais

We are very excited to once again bring some holiday cheer to vulnerable seniors receiving care in the hospital, in long-term care and in community.

Our Stockings for Seniors initiative is a partnership with IG Wealth Management with Mandy Baker and her team championing the project.

We need your help to make it an extraordinary showing of love and support! Community collection of stocking stuffers will take place between Monday, November 16 - Friday, December 11 at the IG Wealth Management office (22-1599 Cliffe Avenue, Courtenay).

Together, we hope to provide comfort items and treats for 200 seniors who don't have family nearby during the holidays nor room in their budget for extras.

Here are some of the things we’re hoping you can help with:

  • New or gently used Christmas stockings

  • Non-slip socks

  • Playing cards

  • Small notebooks/journals

  • Soft chocolates

  • Diabetic-friendly soft treats

  • Mugs with lids and sachets of hot chocolate or tea

  • Shortbread cookies (small boxes)

  • Nail polish, hair ties, hair clips

  • Kleenex (small pkg)

  • Baseball caps

  • Knit hats or scarves

  • Backscratchers

  • Stress balls (squishy for hand exercises)

  • Long shoehorns
