Lend a Hand for the Holidays

Calling all Baton Rouge PPGs! Some friends of ours are hosting their third annual Affinity Nursing Home Christmas Day Pamper Sesh and are in need of local volunteers.

What’s Happening

This group of world-changers round up volunteers every year to give spa manicures to the elderly at Affinity Nursing Home during the holidays. These patients may not have family to visit them, and can often feel alone during Christmas! We’re joining forces to spread some holiday cheer and bring smiles to some deserving faces. In short, you’ll be pampering some patients by giving manicures and playing Santa’s elves, passing out gifts!

How to Get Involved:

  • Arrive around 8:30 AM to Affinity Nursing Home in Baton Rouge to give manicures to the residents until about 11 AM.

  • Bring your own manicure essentials: polish, nail clippers, files, nail polish remover, lotion, and bowls to soak in

  • If you’d like to donate towards purchasing gifts, you can give as little as $15 to help stuff the bags for the patients (36 residents total: 21 male and 15 female)

More Info

If you have questions or would like to donate to support these efforts, email Alexis Brown at alexisbr@pcom.edu.

If you have some extra time Christmas morning, these women would love your help and support! The more the merrier - this is truly a lovely experience and the residents adore having visitors. Let’s show love to the forgotten this Christmas, and make Baton Rouge just a little brighter :)
