Last Christmas, the Unity Shoppe was determined to honor our annual gift-giving program with the Friendship Center Adult Day Services Santa Barbara. Check out the excerpt below to see how our gift giving program positively impacted our community's seniors. "In early December, Unity Shoppe dropped off FORTY beautifully wrapped, HIGHLY PERSONALIZED and labelled gifts for each and every one of our senior program members. Our cat-obsessed friend received a cheetah print scarf ...and another member received a hand-knit blanket with a kind note from the creator, Shannon, that she treasures even more than the blanket itself." "The Unity Shoppe’s generous gift program for seniors is always deeply appreciated but this year, perhaps due to the unexpected nature of it or perhaps due to the gloom surrounding us, the gifts meant so much more, to the members, families and to the staff." "We would not be able to achieve our mission without the support of community partners such as Unity Shoppe." A special thanks to Nonprofit Resource Network for including this excerpt in your email newsletter, the "Good Newser"! #santabarbara #goodnews #friendshipcentersb #community #giftgiving #charity #nonprofit
