Be A Santa To A Senior

Each year, Home Instead offices throughout North America spread holiday cheer to lonely or financially challenged seniors through this program. The aim is to spread holiday cheer throughout your local community.

How does it work?

Be a Santa to a Senior

Home Instead partners with various centres to identify seniors who might not otherwise receive gifts this holiday season. Then, the company works with local businesses and retail stores to help facilitate the purchase and distribution of gifts. What an amazing way to give back to the community. And what better time to do something nice than throughout the Holiday season?


Since the program began in 2003, Home Instead has helped:

  • 750,000 seniors in the US and Canada
  • Provided over 20 million gifts 
  • 65,000 volunteers
  • 250 Home Instead franchises

Want to brighten the day of your seniors? 

Some of your seniors are feeling lonely when comes the Christmas season and want to make they have a gift to unwrap on Christmas morning? Contact our office, we are happy to get you onboard of our BASTAS program.

Home Instead of West Toronto partnered with Amazon.ca in 2021 to make selecting items and delivery easy for everyone. We were able to deliver over 500 gifts to Seniors in our area thanks to the support of our volunteers and the generous donations from various companies and individual partners.
