UF Health Shands Occupational Health Services is partnering with UF Health Volunteer Services to sponsor the annual ElderCare Holiday Drive, an event through which employees can donate much-needed items from socks to spaghetti sauce to help area seniors.

Donations of personal care items, non-perishable foods, paper goods, household goods and other necessities are requested to assist homebound seniors on a fixed income who may otherwise do without. Items may be dropped off at OHS or Volunteer Services.

ElderCare of Alachua County is a grant- and donation-funded agency that provides home and community-based services for the elderly in our area. For more information about the ElderCare Holiday Drive, please call 352-265-0680, ext. 44832.
