Sometimes during the hustle and bustle of the holiday season, many of us take for granted the fact that the reason we're buying so many presents and preparing for Christmas feasts is because we're able to spend the holidays with our family and friends. But sometimes we forget that there are people in our own community who spend the holidays alone, who don't have family or friends to come visit them. That's why River 97.3 has partnered with Heartland Apartments for our annual Santa For Seniors drive. While you're out running holiday errands, pick up a $20 gift card for one of hundreds of seniors in our area and give them a reason to smile this year. Plus, they'll get to go shopping, and who doesn't love doing that? Just knowing that someone else is thinking about them, especially during the holidays, means the world to them.  

Please purchase gift cards in the amount of $20 from one of the following locations:

Target
Wal-Mart
Northwoods Mall
Hobby Lobby
K-Mart
Walgreens
Berean Bookstore

You may also purchase a Visa Gift Card that can be used at any location. Gift cards can be dropped off at The Heartland Apartments, 607 North Hightower Street in Peoria Monday through Friday from 9am to 4:30pm through December 14th. Be a Santa For Seniors this year, and help bring smiles to residents of The Heartland Apartments. Thank you so much, and Happy Holidays from River 97.3!
