Spivey Stocking Project

idents in Mr. Spivey's unit) and ended up sponsoring 107! Enough for 3 nursing homes! At this time we provide around 400 stockings to Alzheimer's Units and Nursing Homes in Lee County. Each resident was personally given a gift that included, a pair of soft socks, a tube of quality foot cream, and a personally signed Christmas card. The residents are then treated to personal visits, entertainment and music from young people ranging in age from 5 to 24 years of age. In 2014 we had some very generous individual sponsors in our community along with a new wonderful new company sponsor, Ammons Chiropractic. Ammons large donation and the Lord's blessing on this project helped increase the number of residents we bless with this project. This was the last Christmas we had with our precious Mr. Spivey before he was called home to Heaven, and in his memory we hope to continue this project for many years to come. This year will be our 9th year! I cannot express to you my thanks for bringing such beautiful smiles to these precious residents. I made sure they all knew that although WE were there to distribute the stockings and entertain, but it is their community that bought these stockings for them. I explained that our community believes in them, loves them, and wants them to know how special they are! This brought many tears of joy. Those of you that have donated, volunteered or prayed for this project, you all truly made a difference in these elderly lives...and not only to these residents but to all of us that witness their joy! Please consider sponsoring a stocking for one of our elderly in Lee County during our 2021 Spivey Stocking Project. We still have many residents from last year that still need a sponsor for this year. It is only $10 to sponsor a stocking. We will do all the work and place your name on the card, but your sponsorship will bring such joy! For some of these residents, this may be all they receive this Christmas. Please contact me if you are interested.
