In 2008 the Kirkland Chamber of Commerce supported the following community event:

"Wrap a Senior in Love"
is a community outreach campaign endorsed by the Chamber Board that was created to provide "LOVE" blankets to seniors in nursing homes on the Eastside during the holidays.  Deadline for all blankets orders is December 5, 2008.

They are our fathers, our mothers, our neighbors and our friends, and yet every year numerous senior citizens in local nursing homes will spend the holidays alone, depressed, and forgotten. But together, businesses and individuals on the Eastside are making a difference by participating in the “Wrap a Senior in Love” community campaign.

Organized by Makaylaa Powers, owner of Visiting Angels in Kirkland, the goal is to ensure that every senior in a nursing home on the Eastside will be remembered, acknowledged, and honored during the holiday season.

Through the generous purchase and donation of “Love” blankets – called Affirmawraps ($25 each) by Kirkland Chamber of Commerce members, local businesses, and individuals, the program is committed to wrapping more than 1000 thousand seniors in LOVE for the 2008 holiday season.

There are multiple ways for Chamber members, businesses, organizations, and individuals to get involved.

For more information on giving or volunteering contact: Makaylaa Powers of Visiting Angels at (425) 828-4500 or email.

Flyers and postcards are designed and available for distribution. Your logo can be included to show your support. Contact Susan Burnash at Purple Duck Marketing.
