Be a Santa to a Senior this Holiday Season

Tis the season to be merry and brighten up a local seniors’ holiday through the Be a Santa to a Senior program! Home Instead Senior Care serving the greater Worcester County and MetroWest area is kicking off this year’s program at Central One Credit Union, located at 148 Main Street in Northborough.

To be a Santa to an area senior, stop by any of the locations listed below to select an ornament from the tree. Each ornament will have a gift suggestion, such as slippers or a blanket. Have fun shopping, and return the unwrapped gift in a bag with the ornament to this location by December 13.

Then, join us for a wrapping party on December 19, from 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m., at the Natick Community Center.
