Christmas Cheer December 2020

Kristin D., a UCSD volunteer, writes about spreading holiday cheer despite a pandemic.

This December, 2020, has been the most eventful and happiest month for me! Our organization has held many events to support, provide companionship, and share positivity amongst senior populations both locally and non-locally. I am so glad that I was able to connect with the Mary Phillips Senior Center in Temecula, CA to deliver 130 kind holidays notes with the help of my sister and mother. The Christmas cheer doesn't end there, we were also able to connect with a senior home in Connecticut to sing some Christmas carols via Zoom. The seniors and volunteers has lots of fun celebrating the holidays virtually. December has been a month full of holiday excitement and cheer despite the uprising of this 'what it feels like' never-ending pandemic. This pandemic will not stop us from volunteering and sharing joy! :)
