Shoeboxes for Seniors – What to Include [VIDEO]

Over the weekend, I put together a few packages for KTDY's Shoeboxes for Seniors campaign. Each filled box cost only $10 with items found at a discount store. I just put the boxes in the bottom of my shopping cart and filled them up as I perused the aisles. The items I chose were: flushable wipes, lotion, soap, shower cap, tissues, pens, puzzle book, and socks with grippers. Please remember not to wrap your boxes.
