Touching moment
One thing is certain: your Christmas cards are appreciated! Not only by the recipients, but also by the employees of Welthuis. “We are so happy that Zoetermeer residents are doing their best to send a card for our elderly,” says Wendy. “I was at one of our locations for the distribution of the Christmas cards. There was a new resident who was having a bit of a hard time finding her way at her new home address. I took it aside for a while and delighted her with a card. She immediately felt a little better.”
On behalf of Welthuis, Palet Welzijn, inZet and indebuurt: Thank you Zoetermeerders and Merry Christmas!
