Homebound senior citizens, who often do not have friends or family visit them during the holidays, will receive a stocking filled with donated cold-weather comfort items during the annual Kings/Tulare Area Agency on Aging (K/T AAA) Stockings for Senior Citizens drive.

Through November 29, Tulare County businesses, community partners and residents are invited to donate cold-weather comfort items such as slippers, socks, gloves, scarves, beanies and lap blankets in drop-off boxes such as the one pictured. For donation drop-off locations, call Bonnie Quiroz at (559) 972-0323.

You can also make a financial donation online at http://www.FriendsTC.org (click on "Programs" and then on "K/T AAA - Stockings for Senior Citizens" on the second page of programs), or by sending a check to 5957 S. Mooney Blvd., Visalia, CA 93277. (Write “Stockings for Senior Citizens” on the memo line.)
