Santa for Seniors is an annual grassroots volunteer project to bring Christmas joy to Wiregrass seniors who are in need of basic items for everyday living.

SARCOA case managers choose the neediest seniors in the area as Santa for Seniors recipients. All have low income and most are homebound and alone. There were over 400 clients with requests on the wish list for 2019. Common requests are groceries, liquid nutritional supplements like Ensure, bed linens, slippers, heaters and help with high utility bills. Gifts are collected at the former National Guard Armory on Westgate Parkway in Dothan and SARCOA case managers and volunteers deliver the gifts to the seniors before Christmas each year.

After Christmas, Santa does not return to the North Pole, but instead continues to help those in need through your donations. An Amazon wish list can be accessed by clicking the button below or you can make a monetary donation by clicking the yellow PayPal Donate button or scanning the PayPal QR code. Thank you for helping our seniors!
