As the holiday season approaches, Home Instead Hamilton is thrilled to announce the launch of our annual Be a Santa to a Senior program. This year, we're embracing the spirit of giving with a digital twist! Our virtual tree is now live, where community members can view and fulfill the wish lists of local seniors directly from our social media pages.
Bringing Holiday Cheer to Those in Need
This year, Home Instead Hamilton has committed to bringing joy to 250 seniors in hospitals, long-term care facilities, and retirement homes. Many of these seniors live alone or are isolated, and our mission is to ensure they are not forgotten during this festive season.

Participation is easy and impactful.
We have trees at:
- By Appointment Only. Our office 108 George St 2nd floor, Hamilton, ON L8P 1E2, Mondays to Fridays 9am to 5pm.

We are deeply grateful to the Hamilton community for your continued support and generosity. Your participation not only fulfills a senior's holiday wish but also brings a sense of belonging and joy to their lives. Thank you, Hamilton, for sharing your heart this holiday season.
The Fine Print
- To protect the identity if the seniors in our community, we will be using fake names and locations
- If you wish to include a card, please leave the name spot blank, and a member of staff will write the real name of the senior before delivery
- Please do not wrap the gifts, staff at hospitals and LTCs will need to confirm the contents before delivering the gifts.
