Senior Santa provides holiday gifts to seniors in long term facilities.

The goal of the Senior Santa project is to provide the elderly in nursing homes and hospice settings with a personal gift around the holidays.  We target those residents who have little or no support in the area and would not otherwise receive a special gift around this time of year when family and friends usually gather; this year we are delivering gifts to approximately 1200 seniors. Community Support plays a critical role in this effort. The success of this program over the years is attributed to companies such as Vitas Hospice,  Wal-Mart, The Boeing Company, Parrish Medical Center etc. to list a few.

Anyone wishing to contribute to the Senior Santa Program can do so by sending a tax-deductible donation to:
