Bringing Holiday Joy, Warmth, and Connection to Older Adults in Chautauqua County
Each December, the Chautauqua County Office for Aging Services partners with community volunteers, churches, service groups, and local organizations to deliver thoughtful gift bags and holiday meals to older adults who may be isolated, live alone, or have limited support.
Santa for Seniors is more than a seasonal tradition — it is a meaningful act of connection, compassion, and community spirit that reminds older adults they are valued, remembered, and loved.
How It Works
- Donations are collected throughout the fall
- Volunteers organize and pack gift bags
- Countywide deliveries take place in December
- Gifts and meals are hand-delivered along with a friendly visit
