Be a Santa to a Senior®: Help Make the Holidays Brighter
Be a Santa to a Senior®: Help Make the Holidays Brighter
Community Partners Needed to Bring Comfort, Connection, and Holiday Cheer to Local Seniors
Beginning November 1, participating merchants throughout Southern Ocean County will host holiday trees or display areas featuring ornament tags with gift requests from local seniors. Customers can simply choose a tag, purchase the requested gift, and return it to the collection site. Volunteers will then deliver the gifts directly to seniors before the holidays.
"Small acts of kindness are so meaningful during the holiday season," said Davina Dib, Community Relations Director of Home Instead. "This program allows local businesses and residents to come together and ensure our senior neighbors feel remembered, appreciated, and connected during the holiday season."
The Be a Santa to a Senior® program is made possible through partnerships with area nonprofit organizations and community leaders who help identify seniors in need and provide practical gift suggestions such as slippers, socks, robes, pajamas, and books. Throughout the program, volunteers will collect donations, replenish gift tags, and coordinate gift delivery to participating seniors.
Merchant Participation Needed
Businesses are invited to serve as collection sites from approximately November 1 through December 14. Participating merchants will:
- Host a Christmas tree or gift collection display in a visible location.
- Receive pre-printed program signage and senior gift request tags.
- Be promoted as a community partner helping support local seniors.
- Provide customers with an easy and meaningful way to give back.
The commitment is simple, but the impact is significant. Join the effort to help our community be ready for the holidays. Please contact davina.dib@homeinstead.com call 609-607-1900 or visit online to learn more about this program.
