If you would like to lend a hand to older adults in our community, please consider donating some essential items. You can drop off donation items at any listed collection sites April 13-17. All items collected will be distributed to seniors in the Newcastle area on Wednesday, April 22 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Stan Head Cultural Center at Aegis Gardens.

Suggested items: Toilet paper (wrapped), hand sanitizer, wipes, canned soup (easy open), crackers, canned fruits, paper towel/napkins (wrapped), cleaning products, pasta, instant oatmeal, pasta sauce and canned vegetables/beans.

Collection Sites

Thank you to the folks at DIY Tea Lab for dropping off this donation at City Hall today. Your donation makes a difference!
Supporting Community
We are working together with the YMCA and Aegis Gardens to assess the needs of vulnerable residents during this critical time. We’ll reach out to them, see how they’re doing, ask how we can help them, then mobilize support and resources. The YMCA is checking up on all of its senior members, while our partners at Aegis Gardens will focus on non-YMCA members of our community who reach out to them.

IMPORTANT: If you are a senior, or know of a senior family mem ber or neighbor in the Newcastle community, who might need help with tasks such as grocery shopping, meal delivery or any other type of assistance, please submit their name and contact information to Aegis Gardens’ Alicia Campolito ( Alicia.Campolito@aegisliving.com ) or Cindy Leung ( Cindy.Leung@aegisliving.com ). You can also call Aegis Gardens at 425-970-6708 and ask to speak with Alicia or Cindy. Aegis Gardens can assist seniors with things such as grocery runs, meal drops and connect them with resources like therapists and support groups.
