How to Do It:
Call a local nursing home and ask if they allow visitors to spend time with residents who don’t receive many visitors. Bring along a book to read aloud, a deck of cards, or just a willingness to listen. Sit with a resident, ask about their life, and share a friendly conversation. Even a short visit can make a big impact.
Why It’s Powerful:
Many elderly people experience loneliness, and a simple visit can brighten their day. Giving your time and attention is one of the most meaningful gifts you can offer.
