Be A Santa To A Senior® Program, sponsored by Home Instead®, has delivered more than 2 million gifts at Christmas nationwide to seniors & community members who are in need.
Locally, Home Instead collaborates with agencies like the MAC Area Agency on Aging, Shore Up - Shady Pines Adult Medical Day Services, Diakonia, Station16 Salisbury Fire and Rescue, Coastal Hospice – Compass Program, Berlin Nursing & Rehabilitation Center, and Worcester County: Department of Health, Social Services & Commission on Aging to identify seniors & community members who are in need or wouldn’t be receiving
a gift for Christmas this year.
Here’s how you can help:
• Anonymously, the Christmas gift wishes of seniors are displayed on tree ornaments at: Ocean Pines Community Center, Apple Discount Drugs (Snow Hill, Fruitland & Pemberton) & The Salisbury Area Chamber of Commerce.
• A customer (“Santa”) will pull an ornament from the tree & purchase the requested gift. The gift should then be wrapped & the ornament tag attached to the gift.
• Then “Santa” brings the gift back to the original location where the ornament was chosen.
• Staff from Home Instead will regularly collect gifts & refresh tree ornaments, as needed. The gifts will then be delivered Dec. 14-21.
Join us in supporting our locals in need during this time of year!
