Home Instead encourages Surprise and Wickenburg residents to participate in the Be a Santa to a Senior program and share joy by giving a gift to older adults in the community who may not have anyone to celebrate with.
“The holidays can be hard for many older adults, especially those who may not have a companion to share them with,” said Debbie Gross, owner of the Surprise Home Instead office. “Through Be a Santa to a Senior, we can help these seniors experience the happiness and togetherness the season can bring.”
To participate, shoppers can look for Be a Santa to a Senior trees or displays at locations around the area. Ornaments featuring the name and desired gift of an older adult will be on display, and shoppers can buy the requested gift and return it unwrapped to the location with the ornament attached. Ornaments will be available until Dec. 11. The gifts will be delivered to local older adults in time for the holidays.
Be a Santa to a Senior trees can be found at the following locations:
Benevilla, 16752 N. Greasewood St.
Chaparral Winds Retirement Community, 16617 N. West Point Parkway
Home Instead Surprise, 15003 W. Bell Road, suite 150
Vista Winds Independent Living, 28783 N. Vistancia Blvd.
“Gifts aside, the true value comes in the connection Be a Santa to a Senior makes between the community and our older neighbors,” said Gross.
