Individuals, church teams and civic groups are invited to donate items on the Christmas in July wish list now through July 31. The list includes canned goods and shelf-stable food items like cereal, canned fruit and vegetables, canned chicken, tuna, salmon and soup. It also includes household helps, such as paper towels and laundry detergent, and personal care items like deodorant, body lotion, and adult diapers. The complete wish list is available on the Senior Services website, www.seniorservicesinc.org .
