ATTEND THE ORNAMENT MAKING SESSION FOR THE HOLIDAY GIFT BAGS

*Operation Holiday Heart Gift Bags, December 2022*

In December, Rose Park Neighborhood Association teams up with Heart of Ida, a local nonprofit that supports Long Beach seniors in need with programs and services that sustain independence and connection within their community. The collaboration is a holiday project known as “Operation Holiday Hearts,” which provides holiday gift bags of personal care packages to bring hope and joy to seniors during the holiday season.

On Tuesday, December 12th from 5pm to 7pm, friends and families of Rose Park Neighborhood will be on the patio of The Good Bar at 3316 E 7th Street making ornaments for the senior gift bags. We hope you will join us to give back to the seniors living in our community. Residents of Lutheran Towers, Redondo Plaza and Edgewater Skilled Nursing Center will be recipients of the holiday gift bags. Questions? Email info@rpna.org.
