We hope you're as stoked for the holidays as we are! Please plan in advance, as we've been very busy helping our neighbors entertain their little ones. Some of the items in Grandma's Closet are and have been very popular. We suggest lining up reservations as soon as you have your guests' itineraries. You don't want to be caught short- handed, especially when those precious little ones are concerned. If anyone needs some items for the baby or little kids to better accommodate them, Grandma's Closet may have just the ticket! We keep a list of people who have items to loan, their contact information, as well as with the items they wish to share. When someone inquires about borrowing items, we'll supply the list, and the donor and recipient can work out the details. We offer these loans to be used by our residents for our visiting grandchildren. The borrowed items (except car seats and car booster seats) are not to be taken out of the village and used elsewhere or by anyone other than the borrower. If you have items you wish to loan out (strollers, car seats, carriers, Pack'n'Plays, high chairs, books, toys, games, puzzles, etc.), send an email to Naomi (NaomiBKatz@iCloud.com) and/or Rich (redcisc@ gmail.com), enumerating those items and age-appropriateness, along with your name, address, phone numbers and email address. Those items will be added to the list. If you find yourself in need of an item or two, please let Rich or Naomi know, and we will forward the list to you. If your visiting grandchildren have left behind items you won't be needing for a while, consider offering them for loan at Grandma's Closet. If you have any items of clothing or furniture for babies or children which you can't store or use, please let us know. We will gladly pick up the items and bring them to Father Joe's Village, which is always in desperate need. Thank you so much for your attention and anticipated assistance. Your continued generosity and support are truly appreciated. ~ Naomi B Katz and Rich Halkyard 24 | OHCC LIVING | NOVEMBER 2024 | Grandma's Closet We have wheelchairs, crutches, canes, and misc. medical equipment available to residents without cost.
