Silver Santas is an all-volunteer grassroots project that delivers customized gift bags to isolated and low-income seniors throughout Pinellas County via providers (assisted living communities, senior housing (HUD) communities and Guardians).
We also could not have done this without these incredible supporters:

How it Works |
1. Deserving Seniors who are in danger of being forgotten this holiday season are identified by professional Guardians, Case/Social Workers, Senior Community/Activity Directors, and other professionals who work for Health Care Providers serving the senior population ("Providers"). Providers can register at the link below, and you will be contacted by our special Liaison to start the process. After you’re approved, you can submit Recipient Names during the Fall Registration Period on our Silver Santas App. If you are registered as an approved Provider and need assistance, contact us at silversantas.info@gmail.com.
2. Gift tags for the recipients are placed on trees at various locations in Pinellas County starting early November. Kind “Silver Santa Shoppers” select a tag and go shopping!
3. Once items are purchased, the Silver Santa Shopper takes the items, along with the gift tag, back to the place where they picked up the tag, or to the alternate location printed on the tag, by early December. The due date will also be printed on the tag.
(NOTE: Please Verify Delivery address is: Silver Santas 14202 62ND ST N, CLEARWATER, FL 33760-2717) 4. Gift bags are then distributed to the recipients in time for the holidays.
Area Agency on Aging of Pasco-Pinellas, Inc. VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITY: In addition to providing the gifts, we welcome volunteers to help organize and implement the program at our Warehouse.
