Tis the season to give back to aging adults in our community!
Home Instead’s Be Santa To A Senior Program finds new ways to spread cheer. Even the “BASTAS” Santa is wearing a mask this year!
“The Be A Santa To A Senior program brings so much joy to seniors in our community,” said Julie Ann Soukoulis, owner of the Rohnert Park Home Instead office. “Seniors are especially at risk for the feelings of isolation that we’ve all felt at some point during the pandemic and a simple gift can show them that they have been thought of, which is more important this year than ever.”
“We need the community’s help more than ever to make sure Seniors feel connected this year,” said Soukoulis. “This year we knew we had to find a way to spread holiday cheer to seniors and we are grateful for the community’s participation.”
