The holiday season is here, signaling the return of the beloved Be a Santa to Senior program, created by Home Instead to provide gifts and essential items to older adults who are often overlooked this time of year. Now in its 18th year, the longstanding program has become a seasonal staple for many local communities.
Due in large part to a first-of-its-kind collaboration with Amazon Business, the program received record-setting participation in 2020, delivering more than 130,000 gifts to 80,000 seniors across the U.S. and Canada.
Home Instead will once again team up with Amazon Business to enable a contactless gift-giving option to spread holiday cheer to seniors who may otherwise not have the opportunity to celebrate. Through Amazon Business' customized Wish Lists, participants can purchase gifts requested by seniors in communities across the country. The gift will then be shipped with a personal message directly to the senior or local Home Instead office, where it will be safely delivered to the recipient.
