Santa for Seniors is a 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 are typically over 400 clients with requests on the wish list each year.
Now in its nineteenth year, Santa for Seniors delivers Christmas to hundreds of individuals who might otherwise have been forgotten. The gifts usually requested represent the essentials. The single biggest request each year is for food, with “groceries” becoming the most requested Santa item and our largest purchase of the project. We are also usually able to provide each participant with cleaning supplies. For those on a low fixed income, cleaning supplies are often the last thing on your shopping list.
On behalf of SARCOA and the Wiregrass seniors and disabled who have been recipients of your kindness and generosity in the past, we thank you for helping to bring Christmas joy and hope to many. Watch the video to see the wonderful results.
Santa continues to help year-round because of caring people like you. You can give anytime online through PayPal by using the links below, and SARCOA also maintains an Amazon wish list for frequently requested items that can be accessed by clicking the button below.
