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.

To sign up as a Provider and submit recipient names please Click Here.


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!

To get a gift tag for a deserving senior, Click Here.  

You can pick up 2025 Gift Tags at multiple Tree Site Locations throughout the county - and online - in early November. This year's list of locations will be published here soon - stay tuned!


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.


Alternatively: In lieu of adopting an individual senior, we welcome general donations of new clothing, new hygiene products, candy, and small personal items to help fill out the gift bags.  If you wish to purchase and send items for seniors in general, you can click on the boxes below for our most-needed items. You can have these sent to the delivery address below.



      (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.
