[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Instead of a nursing home, what about a senior center? It's community based and serves a less medically fragile population, so worth calling to ask at least. Or you could make cookies and a card for a nursing home and drop them off. Those old folks are eating candy and cookies CONSTANTLY.

My church Sunday school makes packed lunches for the homeless and does "field trips" walking around and handing them out in Columbia Heights. [/quote]

Nursing homes cannot just hand out baked goods made by a random outside person--nor should they, nobody wants your toddler's germs. Health violation and all that. I'm sure the front desk person will just pitch them in the trash.

And I'm not sure where you get the idea people in nursing homes are constantly eating candy and cookies.[/quote]

We have definitely made cookies for the residents at my grandmother's nursing home and watched them be passed out. This is a "nice" private pay home in Bethesda, so not talking about some cut rate place. I've also seen cards and drawings from schools. So before dismissing an idea outright, it's worth CALLING to ASK. [/quote]
