Delaware County retailers and local agencies have partnered with Home Instead of Senior Care to deliver gifts and companionship to isolated seniors through the “be a Santa to a Senior” program.
The program is currently underway and will continue until December 7. The following Delaware area locations will display Christmas trees with ornaments listing the first names of seniors and their gift requests.
- CVS, 32 Troy Road, Delaware
- Walgreens, 748 North State Street, Westerville
- Powell United Methodist Church, 825 East Olentangy Street, Powell
Holiday shoppers are invited to choose an ornament, buy items on the list and return the unwrapped gifts along with the ornament to the store.
A community gift-wrapping event will be held December 10-11. To volunteer to gift wrap contact Nancy Butler at 614.486.6643 or Betty Phillips at 614.489.0200
