KENDALLVILLE â Senior citizens whoâve been confined at home during the winter and the coronavirus pandemic can look forward to a little joy soon in the form of Fun Packs of games, puzzles, activities, snacks and personal items.
The Noble County Council on Aging and Noble Transit is accepting donations of new items to assemble the packs. Noble Transit is planning for delivery to homebound seniors in mid-March.
Cherish Smith, executive director of the council on aging, said the idea started as a school project.
âThe project was suggested by the daughter of a dispatcher who is in high school,â Smith said. âShe had the idea for a school project at Impact (Institute).â
Itâs the Waddlesâ first time decorating for Christmas in their new home.
Their labor of love was blessed Monday with two really big presents: $500 on their behalf to Noble Transit Service and $500 for themselves.
Noble Transit, affiliated with the Noble County Council on Aging, is a public transportation agency serving Noble County. Most of its vehicles are wheelchair accessible.
âWe chose Noble Transit because they played a big part in my familyâs life when my grandpa was going through dialysis and stroke recovery,â said David Waddles. âThey always went above and beyond and we want them to know they are appreciated for all the hard work they do.â
