Holiday Gifts for Seniors
Senior Secret Santa (November and early December)

We like it when you can’t keep a secret . . . and this is a secret we must share. The need to help many Quad City area senior citizens continues to grow throughout our region. And many older adults spend the holidays alone in their homes with little to no friend or family support.
It’s estimated that more than 50% of adults report feeling lonely during the holiday season. This feeling can be intensified for older adults who have lost loved ones over the years. Many seniors report not leaving their homes and not receiving any visitors or gifts during the holiday season.
At The Center for Active Seniors, Inc. (CASI), we see many older adults whose gift list consists of everyday household and personal care items such as laundry soap, socks, pajamas or new under garments. They are not looking for extravagant gifts costing hundreds of dollars. They are hoping for items of everyday comfort and care as well as the warm feelings brought by spending time with those who care for them. Our Senior Secret Santa program funds holiday gifts for seniors.

“My parents are getting to the point where they need some help to stay in their home and I want them to live there as long as they can. I live out of town and was not sure where to get help. A friend suggested calling CASI. A Senior Advocate visited with my parents, gave them information on services, and they are now getting home delivered meals. I know I have a reliable source that I can call anytime I have concerns about my mom and dad.”“It seems like each month the money coming in doesn’t stretch as far as it used to. I called CASI to ask if any help was available. I met with a Senior Advocate who connected me with some programs and benefits that have helped me out financially.”
