Be a Santa to a Senior initiative kicks off in Guelph
Long-term care company Home Instead is spear-heading the initiative.
Here’s how it works. You pick out an ornament on a “Be a Santa to a Senior” tree at one of the two participating Chartwell locations in the area. The ornament will feature the senior’s name and desired gift. So then you buy a gift, return it to that participating location, and it’ll be wrapped later. General manager for Home Instead Guelph Larrisa Sorek said it’s a really great way to be involved in the community.“To know that you can go in and be a part of the community and bring a smile to someone who would go without, it’s so special to be able to do that,” Sorek said.
