Each year Home Instead Senior Care® offices
throughout North America spread holiday cheer to lonely or
financially-challenged seniors through the Be a Santa to a Senior
program. Home
Instead Senior Care partners with local non-profit and community
organizations to identify seniors who might not otherwise receive gifts
this holiday season. The company then works with local businesses and
retail stores to help facilitate the purchase and distribution of gifts
by placing trees and ornaments within their various locations. Each
senior's gift requests are written on a Be a Santa to a Senior tree ornament.
Here's how to help an underserved senior:
- Find the nearest Be a Santa to a Senior tree location
- Remove an ornament
- Purchase the gift
- Bring ornament and gift back to participating store and give to
store employee.
It's that easy.
Volunteers collect, wrap, and deliver the gifts to the seniors.
The program runs from November 10th-December 8th. Volunteers wrap and deliver gifts the week before Christmas.
Find a Tree today and brighten the life of a senior.
If there is not a Be a Santa to a Senior tree
in your community, we encourage you to contact an organization in your
community dedicated to helping seniors during the holidays.
