Supporting the Silver Santas Program
Silver Santas is an all volunteer grassroots project and depends on the generosity and support of the community.
The Following are ways that you can make a difference in helping deserving Seniors:
1. Get the word out : One of the best ways to help deserving seniors who are in danger of being forgotten this holiday season is to help us make everyone aware of the Silver Santas program. You can do this in many ways such as simply telling everyone about the program and the good we do in the community. Here are some things (tools) that can help you do this. If you need someone to help you talk about Silver Santas, such a presentation to a group, we are delighted to have one of our volunteers help do this. Just reach out to us on the contact page.

If you are having an event/party ask participants to bring a Silver Santas gift item*. We believe in Holiday Cheer Throughout the Year, you can create a theme such as "A Pajama Party". have everyone bring a pair of PJs. Use your imagination. Have a "Silver Santas Shopping Spree invite friends and family to be “Silver Santa Shoppers” by selecting a tag (or several) below and go shopping! You can also include a link in your emails to family and friends to purchase gift items from the ease of their home on Amazon. There are also so many volunteer opportunities that you can coordinate as a group and really help getting Gift Bags to the recipients.
