Description

At Home In Darien recently partnered with local dance school "Dance on the DL" and Holmes School Daisy Girl Scout Troop 50326, to help warm the hearts of Darien's seniors during this snowy season. Dance on the DL students made Valentine themed magnets and paperweights that are both functional and decorative. At Home In Darien volunteers delivered these gifts, along with thoughtful cards created by the dance students, to the homes of 40 senior citizens. Dance on the DL's craft project was a charitable event and generously raised money to benefit At Home In Darien, and their services that assist Darien's senior citizens. Troop 50326's adorable Valentine's Day cards were distributed to an additional 60 Darien seniors through the Darien Senior Center's lunch program, and to Darien's assisted living facilities - Atria, Maplewood, and the Residence at Selleck's Woods. "We are so delighted when we can facilitate intergenerational connections", said Gina Blum, At Home In Darien Executive Director. "It enriches the community and benefits both the seniors and the children."
