News Elderly Hearts Made Happy
The first day of May, known as May Day, is a celebration known across the world with various unique traditions. In the United States, early European settlers filled small baskets with treats and flowers and left them at someone’s doorstep. The giver rang the bell and ran away. The person receiving the basket tried to catch the fleeing giver with a reward of a kiss if they were caught.
Though the tradition has changed, United Way of Horry County’s annual Make Someone’s May Day effort brought smiling faces to 625 elderly Horry County residents. The seniors, many of them homebound with few visitors and in some cases, few resources, were greeted with a smile, a visit and a stuffed ‘May Day Bag’ filled with goodies.
