Smiles for Seniors Foundation
4th Annual Stockings
for Seniors Holiday Program
Smiles for Seniors Foundation
is a nonprofit 501 C (3) organization serving low income seniors in the Inland Empire and surrounding areas. We help seniors
financially when everyday emergencies and necessities arise and do not fit in to the budget of our low income seniors such
as heating and utility payments, groceries, and help pay for life saving medication just to name a few.
This year we are holding our 4th Annual Stockings
for Seniors Holiday Program. This is when we combine efforts with local children to bring joy and cheer to the residents of
nursing homes. Last year the activity directors from each home were asked to make a wish list and Smiles for Seniors granted
their wish. Two of the homes asked for a karaoke machine, the other a boom box. Armed with over 4 dozen little elves (most
of them children) we passed out warm soft blankets to each of the residents along with lots of other games, arts and crafts
supplies and goodies for all.
Many
seniors feel sad and blue around the holidays thinking of memories past and friends and family that have passed on. Many of
them receive very few visits and some; none at all. We
want to help to alleviate the loneliness some seniors may feel while staying in a nursing home over the holidays. This year we will be visiting 3 nursing homes and bringing gifts
to over 300 residents. We need friends like you in the community to help us with our holiday program. We realize that you
get many requests this time of year and hope you will choose to help Smiles for Seniors.
Should
you choose to help please fill out the form below and submit it with your tax deductible donation to the address above, we
also need volunteers and the seniors really love to see the little ones. Any donation of $250.00 or more will receive a free
listing as a senior sponsor in our newsletter and website.
You may donate to our holiday program right on this
website at the donate now page.
Thank you and Happy Holidays, from the Smiles for Seniors Team
