Giving Back

The Rainycrest Tuck Shop, is in need of items! Top of the list is large stuffies, purses, and lap blankets. Crafters are welcome to make and donate! Also accepted are books, knick knacks, jewelry, CD’s, small stuffed animals, decorative items & movies. No kitchen items please – residents no longer cook. Residents love to go shopping and this means the world to them. Items can be left inside the front door. A label saying “Attention Gary in the Tuck Shop” is helpful. If possible, call and tell them you are coming and someone will pick up your goodies quickly from the front door. Thanks in advance for helping to brighten the lives of our senior residents in Rainycrest!
