I-C Care, In-Home Companion Care, is kicking off its second annual “I-C Care Christmas Campaign” and this year is looking to recognize local World War II veterans.

I-C Care is collecting new blankets through Dec. 20 to distribute to local WWII veterans. I-C Care wants to go the extra mile for veterans and their spouses, said Director of Marketing and Community Outreach Tate Blanchard. The 2019 “I-C Care Christmas Campaign, Warm Wishes for World War II Veterans,” looks to recognize the hard work and sacrifices made by the greatest generation.

The company is asking area managers of nursing homes, assisted living facilities, home health agencies, hospice organizations, and senior communities to nominate WWII veterans who are receiving services through their organizations to be recognized by submitting the veteran’s name and address to office@iccare.com. I-C Care will compile a list of all veterans whose names have been submitted and deliver blankets to those individuals just prior to Christmas.

I-C Care is also allowing the public to get involved in the campaign. Anyone who would like to donate a new blanket to a veteran can drop their donation off at their offices located on the second floor of 1113 Main St., Wheeling, during the designated time period mentioned above. The public may also attach a Christmas greeting to go along with their blanket(s).

“At I-C Care, we take providing exceptional home care to heart,” Blanchard said. “We provide quality, affordable home care to people all over the Ohio Valley, but anyone who knows us, knows we really go the extra mile for area veterans and their spouses with the programs we offer.

It is our goal to combat social isolation and help to bring happiness to seniors and we feel with our ‘I-C Care Christmas Campaign’ we are able to do that.”

Once the campaign ends, the company will travel across the Ohio Valley to deliver blankets to those on their recipient list, just in time for Christmas.
