Bringing Joy to Seniors in Our Community
Wednesday, November 13, 2024, INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, Fla. – Senior Resource Association’s (SRA) annual gift drive, Santa for Seniors, is underway! With the help of our generous community, more than 1,000 gifts are collected, packaged and delivered to local homebound, elderly friends and neighbors who rely on SRA’s programs and services to remain in their own homes as long as safely possible.
There are many thoughtful ways the community can help make the season merry and bright for those who are lonely and often forgotten.

SRA will deliver a Santa for Seniors holiday box to clubhouses, businesses, or houses of worship, where people can drop off gifts when convenient. Spread cheer by engaging staff, clients or neighbors in this heart-warming annual drive. Schedule drop-box pick-up by SRA no later than Friday, December 13, 2024.
“By supporting our annual Santa for Seniors gift drive, you can make a difference in the lives of older adults who may not have friends or family nearby,” says Karen Deigl, SRA President and CEO. “The seniors’ faces light up with joy when SRA’s elves deliver their gifts. It really is heartwarming.”
The annual drive would not be possible without the commitment from our generous Santa’s Workshop Sponsor, Cleveland Clinic Indian River Hospital; the Sunrise Rotary Vero Beach, whose members distribute and collect donation boxes provided by White Glove Moving and Storage; and our dedicated staff and volunteers who rally the community to collect, package and deliver all the gifts.
Gift drop-boxes are now available. The deadline for all donations is Friday, December 13. Gifts will be delivered to local seniors by December 24.
Help spread cheer to our community’s seniors this holiday season! For questions about the annual Santa for Seniors gift drive, please contact Robyn Thompson, Event Coordinator, at 772.569.0760 ext. 239 or email [email protected].
