This year's Holiday Giving Drive made the season brighter for more than 280 Family Eldercare clients! Groups, families and individuals sponsored clients and purchased items from thier wishlist. For most recipients, these gifts might be the only ones they receive this Holiday Season. Once the gifts were chosen and wrapped, the volunteers went out into the community, delivering more than just presents, bringing a special visit and a smile. Thank you to all who shared their Holiday cheer and thier time to make this season special for those in-need.

In Travis County an estimated 7.3% of the senior population have incomes at or below the poverty level and residents with a mental disability live in poverty at almost twice the general rate. (2006 American Community Survey)
