Thank you community, for being a Santa to Seniors!

Your support made it possible for us to provide seniors with essential grocery gift cards and temporary housing this past month. And we're not stopping there! With your help, Santa for Seniors is gearing up to ensure local seniors get the housing programs and support they need throughout the entire year. Big shoutout to our amazing donors - we couldn't do this without you!
