Help local seniors have a merry Christmas by participating in London Drugs’ Stocking Stuffers for Seniors campaign, on through Sunday (Dec. 11).
The holiday donation program is available at 78 participating locations across western Canada. Tags listing seniors’ gift wishes can be chosen from the Stocking Stuffers for Seniors Christmas tree. Those item can then be purchased and brought back to the same London Drugs location before being delivered to seniors this Christmas.
The Stocking Stuffers for Seniors program, which began in 2015, has helped over 60,000 seniors over the years. Over the years, London Drugs employees have heard many touching stories from program participants. From customers who have chosen tags that remind them of loved ones that have passed to families or businesses taking part as a holiday tradition, many see the program as a way to give back to the community during the season of giving.
“Stocking Stuffers for Seniors has become an annual tradition that our customers and staff look forward to year after year. It is so heartwarming to see the enthusiasm that each community brings to this program to ensure their local seniors feel supported and celebrated during the holiday season,” says London Drugs president and chief operating officer Clint Mahlman. “This campaign truly proves the sense of togetherness and support that this time of year brings to those who need it most.”
A wide array of gifts are requested by seniors and care facilities, including necessities like toiletries and clothing garments. Popular gifts for seniors this year include:
• Toiletries: unscented shampoo and conditioner, body wash, body cream, toothpaste and toothbrushes, make up and nail care
• Treats: small boxes of chocolates, candy, cookies, diabetic treats, gluten-free treats
• Jigsaw puzzles or large print puzzle books
• Blankets
• Gloves, mittens, scarves
• Slippers, socks, underwear
New this year, London Drugs has partnered with Carlton Cards to provide customers with an in-store coupon for a free card for their senior when purchasing a Carlton or Papyrus card this holiday season. In addition, members of the London Drugs loyalty program LDExtras will receive a reward of 500 bonus points when they bring their gift for a senior to the store, as a thank-you for participating in the program.
