Program Offers Holiday Cheer to Home-Bound Seniors

GREENSBORO, NC -- (November 16, 2009) -- Participate in Greensboro Beautiful Inc.'s annual holiday program called Circle of Caring, which delivers Fraser Fir wreaths to home-bound senior citizens who participate in the Mobile Meals program, and bring cheer to their hearts and homes.

A donation of $20 purchases a wreath, decorated with a large red bow, and pays for its delivery. You may purchase one wreath or more than one, and you can make the donation in memory of someone special. Donations can be made online at www.greensborobeautiful.org or by calling Greensboro Beautiful at 373-2199 no later than November 25.

Proceeds from the wreath sale benefit Greensboro Beautiful's neighborhood tree plantings, public gardens, litter cleanups, and city-wide landscape projects.
