Have you ever thought of contacting a local nursing and seeing what residents might need? Maybe some would like some lotions (free ones we get coupon for from B&B), what about skeins of yarn and knitting needles or crochet hooks, cross stitching items, guys maybe some models to put together whittling items.
Of course, if they are allowed to have and I understand some can't do such things anymore but some can and just don't have to means or people to get it for them.
Jigsaw puzzles, search a word books, crossword books, Readers Digest, Guidepost etc they can read and do.

I like this idea. I know some would like to do something with their time.
What a lovely thought.
My friend is a nurse in a nursing home.
There are so many small things that make a big difference in their lives.
A trip to the dollar store would yield lots of things for little money.
Books, puzzles,lotions,playing cards and even reading glasses.
Thank you for the thought.
Now let me act upon it.
Sophia's 4-H Club used to make greenery baskets that they decorated with ribbon and holiday picks. Then they would go with the miniature pony to the nursing home for a visit. The residents loved the pony, and the baskets decorated their dining room.
