'Be a Santa to a Senior' brings Christmas cheer to the elderly
SUMMARY: The “Be a Santa to a Senior” program, organized by Home Instead and local partners, aims to bring holiday cheer to isolated seniors in the community. Chris Thompson explains that the initiative allows individuals to select names from trees displayed at locations like CVS and Rouses, purchase gifts, and return them for redistribution. This effort, ongoing for over a decade, helps seniors who might otherwise be overlooked during the holidays, especially those in hospice care or living alone. Gift wrapping will occur on December 11, with the program running until December 9. It’s a wonderful way to give back during the festive season.
The gift-giving program helps older adults who may be alone during the holiday season.
