Sweaters For Seniors “Sweaters For Seniors” is founded by Carol Gross with the support of her husband Gary, their daughter and son, Kristina and Nicholas, to commemorate the memory of their grandmother, Hulda Gross. Since 2004; the Carol Gross family “Sweaters For Seniors” Program, distributes 75 to 130 sweaters to our seniors during the Christmas season. We will be Christmas caroling in the nursing homes during the holidays and “Warming their hearts with a Sweater.” These wonderful people will be a part of this program and will share on Christmas Eve Day when we deliver their sweater along with a Christmas Carol. We want our elderly residents to know that they are not forgotten and in our thoughts during the holidays as we wish them a Merry Christmas. We especially appreciate and prefer monetary donations for the purchase of sweaters for this program. As we prepare for Christmas, we will be delivering these sweaters to several designated nursing homes in our area. Sweater donations need to be plain colored, zip-up, button-up, or v-neck and without hoods. They need to be machine washable and preferably something that can be worn all year. We prefer not to receive sweatshirts, as they are hard to give during the holidays. We prefer that our elderly residents receive new, washable, warm, heavyweight, plain colored sweaters. Lap blankets are acceptable too. Due to the HIPPA Privacy Act, we are collecting the Senior Citizens names who signed up so we can purchase sweaters for them. This lets us know the sizes and the gender of sweaters that we need. We will continue collecting the HIPPA permission forms and purchase sweaters for them as their names come in for this year's Christmas list. Keep in mind; the names on these forms are confidential. We want to thank the staff of our five nursing homes for working with our “Sweaters For Seniors” Program by completing the HIPPA permission forms so our program can purchase these warm sweaters for our elderly residents! Anyone wishing to contribute to the program can do so by mailing your donation to: “Sweaters For Seniors”, 923 Division Street, La Crosse, WI. 54601 or call Please enclose your name, address and phone number with your donation.
