Solana Beach Community Connections (SBCC) is preparing for its annual Holiday Baskets distribution. SBCC members assemble and personally deliver beautiful gift baskets to “Solo-Agers” who may be experiencing loneliness. These “orphaned-agers” may have lost a spouse and partner or family members live far away.
SBCC’s mission is two-fold. First, identify mature adults who are residents of Solana Beach and are living alone. If you know someone needing an extra dose of joy, email name and contact information to info@solanabeachcc.org. Second, to help fill these baskets, SBCC is collecting gift items (see list below), a news release stated.
The City of Solana Beach partners with SBCC and generously contributes a location for collecting gift items. Items from the list (see below) may be dropped off beginning Monday, Nov. 2, at the Solana Beach City Hall, 635 S. Highway 101, between 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Thursday. (The Solana Beach City Hall is closed on alternate Fridays).
This donation drive ends Thursday, Dec. 10, after which assembly and delivery begin.Donation items include: 2027 calendars, Crossword/Sudoku puzzles, hot chocolate packets, holiday mugs, nightlights, jar openers, small packets of tissues, lip balm, hand or body lotion, decorative dish towels, eyeglass cleaner, warm, non-slip socks, pens, post-it notes, Life Savers candy.
