December 2020

UAC Heroes’ “Loving is Caring” campaign – the last call for love in 2020 – is coming to a close. Following the love bags for St. Cabrini Nursing Home and Sprain Brook Manor Rehab in Westchester County, UAC has delivered 425 holiday love bags to Cliffside Rehabilitation & Residential Health Care Center in New York City: 250 bags for staff arrived on December 22 and 175 bags for residents on December 24. Along the way, many volunteers, especially teenagers, eagerly helped make love cards and pack the bags, which moved us deeply.

UAC Heroes’ “Loving is Caring” campaign for the elderly continues. Following the love bags for St. Cabrini Nursing Home and Sprain Brook Manor Rehab in Westchester County (shown in the video above), UAC plans to deliver 425 holiday love bags before New Year’s Day to the 175 residents and 250 staff of Cliffside Rehabilitation & Residential Health Care Center in New York City.

Before the most important holiday of this extraordinary year of 2020, will you join us in brightening the holidays for our seniors? 2020 is drawing to a close, but the COVID-19 pandemic sweeping across the US shows no sign of stopping. In nursing homes and other long-term care facilities – the places hit hardest by COVID deaths – the virus keeps breaking out in clusters. In November, a nursing home in Chesterfield, Virginia reported 16 COVID deaths, and a Kansas nursing home reported that all 62 of its residents had been infected.
