On November 18th, we partner up with the Pinnacle at Turkey Creek shopping center for their annual “ALL IS BRIGHT” event. During this event, we place all gift tags throughout the 659,000 square feet of the shopping center and enjoy holiday vendors and performances from local schools. Around 6:30 PM, we light the 60 ft Christmas Tree and kick off our gift drive. Between November 18th and December 20th, we will collect, wrap, and deliver gifts to senior citizens at risk for loneliness and isolation. On December 20th, we partner with Mercedes Benz of Knoxville and load up two sprinter vans, Santa and Mrs. Claus, and other elves. We deliver gifts to different nursing homes throughout East Tennessee. Last year, we had over 1350 gifts in nine different counties. We plan to exceed that amount this year! Facilities include gloves, hats, crossword puzzles, Blankets, socks, sugar-free candy, grabber tools, lotion, stationery, arthritis utensils, and more!
