Alabama Power Service Organization Volunteers Spread Cheer With Cheeriodicals Care Packages

By Alabama NewsCenter Staff

Members of the Alabama Power Service Organization’s (APSO) Western Division partnered with Uniontown Cares to hand out almost 50 Cheeriodicals on the morning of March 1. The care boxes went to the elderly, disabled and shut-ins in and around the Perry County community.

Uniontown Cares President Mary Schaeffer said the nonprofit organization had two goals Thursday: to distribute the care boxes but also to spend some time with residents.

“They are so happy to see a new face. Some of them don’t have many visitors. We have really nice people in Uniontown but, unfortunately, some of them have run into some hard times, particularly healthwise,” Schaeffer said. Uniontown Cares volunteers worked with APSO members from Tuscaloosa, Plant Greene County and the local Alabama Power Business Office to deliver the care boxes. The Cheeriodicals included puzzles, adult color books, snacks and more.
