Mayor’s program distributes holiday wishes, gift cards to seniors

Posted

Janet Whiteley, administrative assistant to Johnston Mayor Joseph M. Polisena, and Sharon Stott, who also works at Town Hall, sat calmly and smiled inside the Johnston Senior Center’s library for several hours last Thursday morning.

Their mission was, simply put, wishing people well and a happy Thanksgiving, per Polisena.

Whiteley and Stott were also armed with letters direct from the Executive Chamber and gift cards from Price Rite, which Polisena issues every Thanksgiving as part of his “Helping Our Neighbors” program.

“During these difficult times, it is comforting to see our community join together in an effort to share our resources,” Polisena states in the letters.

Whiteley and Stott, meanwhile, added a personal touch as they handed each envelope to qualifying resident.
