As the community enters the season of giving, Home Instead® is calling on Goodyear/ Buckeye residents to help brighten the holidays for older adults who may be feeling isolated or alone. Through the beloved Be a Santa to a Senior program, local community members can spread joy by giving a special holiday gift to seniors who might otherwise go without.
"A simple, thoughtful gift can bring immense happiness to an older adult who may not have family around to celebrate with," said Blair and Anthony Sapeta, owners of the Home Instead office in Goodyear.
"Be a Santa to a Senior is about more than presents-it's about showing care, love, and letting these individuals know they are not forgotten."
This year, we hope to make the holidays brighter for even more seniors in the Goodyear/ Buckeye area. The program celebrates its 19th year in our area, continuing its tradition of spreading cheer to those who need it most.
How to Get Involved:
Community members can participate by visiting Be a Santa to a Senior trees or displays located at the stores/ businesses below. Each tree will feature ornaments with the name and gift wish of an older adult in need. Shoppers can select an ornament, purchase the desired gift, and return it [wrapped/unwrapped/in a gift bag] to the location with the ornament attached. Ornaments will be available from 11/13 to 12/16, and gifts will be delivered to seniors in time for the holidays.
Be a Santa to a Senior® trees can be found at the following locations:
• Bealls - 500 S. Watson Rd. Buckeye, AZ 85326
• Cal- Ranch Store - 2075 Pebble Creek Pkwy Goodyear, AZ 85395
• Empower Physical Therapy - 3050 N. Litchfield Rd. Suite 100 Goodyear, AZ 85395
"This program is about so much more than giving gifts-it's about creating moments of joy and connection between older adults and the community," said Blair and Anthony. "There's nothing more rewarding than seeing the smile on a senior's face when they open their gift and feel the love behind it."
Be a Santa to a Senior® brings together businesses, volunteers, and community members to make a difference in the lives of local seniors.
Since its inception in 2003, Be a Santa to a Senior® has mobilized over 65,000 volunteers, provided approximately 2.5 million gifts, and made the holidays brighter for more than 750,000 deserving older adults nationwide.
