Celebrating the 17th year of our Santa for Seniors campaign
Help make the season bright for low-income seniors
Don’t let vulnerable seniors feel forgotten this holiday season: Make an online donation or purchase a small gift and holiday meal through Senior Services Society’s annual Santa for Seniors fundraiser. With your generous support, seniors will receive a holiday meal, grocery gift cards, a small gift, and essential services during the holidays and throughout the year.
Royal Canadian Legion Branch #2 provided holiday joy to 120 local seniors
Last year, Branch #2 of the Royal Canadian Legion got behind Santa for Seniors in a big way. Through its weekly meat and 50/50 draws, it raised $3,500 and used that money to make 120 seniors sacks filled with small gifts so that local seniors wouldn’t feel forgotten over the holidays.
Young Adult Ministry crafts heartfelt holiday gift bags for seniors in need
The Young Adult Ministry from the Our Lady of Mercy Parish started participating in Santa for Seniors in 2020. Former leader and now advisor Liz Meneses said that the ministry is made up of university-/post-university-aged young adults whose mandate is to give back to the community through leadership with a vision of building a community of compassionate leaders.
For over 10 years legendary New West stylist Lorna Stewart has been an integral part of our Santa for Seniors campaign. Known for her philanthropy, Lorna has an extensive network that she calls upon to contribute to causes close to her heart.
We are always in need of reliable volunteers to assist with grocery orders, meal delivery, support calls, medical transportation, and translators. Read about our current volunteer opportunities today!
