Christmas Trees for Seniors

[hockeylover]

I work at a Fresh Co. in Burlington and we have a seniors Christmas Tree.

Basically, grocery stores across Burlington (not just Fresh Co.) are given a tree with hundreds of tags on them. The tags have a Senior in the communities name and an item on their Christmas list. The Seniors are all at a home of some kind and do not have a family to buy them presents.

The point is to take the tag off a tree and buy the present for them. At every location they have handouts with the address your supposed to return them too.

Every year my family does a couple as I no longer have grandparents of my own. Most of the gifts are inexpensive (someone asked for a laptop this year?). Mostly perfumes, mittens, sweaters, books, stuffed animals, ect.

Its a pretty cool organization, hopefully I've convinced a few of you!

Good to know!
At work we always adopt a family.
But i'ld like to do something for someone on my own.
I wonder if its Hamilton too?

I am in Oakville and will be happy to support the cause. I will pick a name on the weekend as I am going over t to do some errands

if you google "Santa For Seniors" and put in your postal code, itll give you a list of stores closest to you that are participating

lilo the shoppers on new street, in the portion that sells the mobility aids has a tree there which might be closer to you.

I wanted to participate but am scared to grab the tag with a laptop and make myself broke, but if I found someone who wanted a few small items that would make their Christmas better I would definitely participate, but the 1 person who wants the laptop I cannot afford personally as I can't even get my own laptop! But maybe grabbing one of these before Mega Redemption and including a few items for your senior might be a good idea!

I'd love to do this program- the website tells me there is nothing in my postal code though- anyone know of a tree in Grimsby, or Hamilton/Stoney Creek?

Since Iwill be in SDM all over halton on the weekend I will keep my eyes peeled
