(ROCKWALL, TX – Dec. 7, 2016) The City of Rockwall is participating in a couple of holiday programs with local charities that help make Christmas a little brighter for area families. The City is participating in the Rockwall County Helping Hands Christmas Toy Drive as well as the Meals on Wheels Adopt-a-Senior Tree. Both programs help make a difference in the lives of others throughout our community.
The Rockwall County Helping Hands Toy Drive helps provide toys for more than 1,000 local children every year at Christmastime. Participants can adopt a child, and then drop off a new toy at Rockwall City Hall by noon on Tuesday, December 13. That’s less than a week away.
An opportunity to support the elderly or disabled this season is the Meals on Wheels Adopt-a-Senior Christmas Tree located at City Hall. The organization provides nutritional and senior service programs for homebound residents 60 years old or older, or those who are totally disabled throughout Rockwall County.
Envelopes on the Meals on Wheels tree encourage people to help feed an area senior for a week, month or year by providing donations as low as $35, but any amount is greatly appreciated. Donations for Meals on Wheels will be accepted through the end of Christmas.
Both Meals on Wheels and Helping Hands rely heavily on donations during this season to help provide services to local residents all year long.
