ZELIENOPLE— Home Instead Senior Care is teaming up with nonprofit agencies and area retailers to sponsor Be a Santa to a Senior — a program that collects, wraps and delivers gifts to lonely and needy seniors in Beaver and Butler counties.
Participating organizations identify needy and isolated seniors and provide those names to Home Instead Senior Care. A Christmas tree at 190 Alameda Plaza in Butler will feature ornaments with the first names of the seniors and their gift requests.
Shoppers can pick up an ornament, buy items on the list and return them unwrapped to the store, with the ornament attached. Home Instead Senior Care volunteers will collect, wrap and distribute the gifts. A city-wide gift-wrapping day will be held Dec. 9.
To volunteer, contact Tim Lyon or Mike Lyon at 724-452-6691. Businesses are encouraged to contact the local Home Instead Senior Care office about adopting groups of seniors. For more information, visit www.beasantatoasenior.com
