Home More News Christmas Box Program seeks volunteers to deliver food to seniors

The Johnson City Senior Center Foundation’s annual Christmas Box Program needs volunteers to help deliver food and household items to 250 needy and low-income seniors throughout the community on Thursday, Dec. 13.

Boxes will be packed inside Beeson Hall, 403 Harrison St., beginning at 8 a.m. and delivery will follow from 9 a.m.-1 p.m. Volunteers delivering Christmas boxes must use their own vehicles. 

Each box contains staple food items, cleaning supplies and paper goods and has a value of $60. The First Tennessee Area Agency on Aging and Disability screens recipients to avoid duplication of services.
