The Christmas season is fast approaching and you can spread the holiday cheer by participating in San Luis Obispo County's Santa to a Senior program.
The local program is being hosted by the franchise network, Home Instead, and encourages community members to give back by buying a gift for a local senior in need.
Home Instead has partnered with several local businesses to help with the gift collection and distribution.
Anyone can get involved in the Be a Santa to a Senior program by choosing a gift request ornament on a tree display at participating locations and purchasing the item listed on it.
Participants can buy the requested gift and return it in a gift bag to the location with the ornament attached by December 8. The gifts will be delivered to local older adults in time for the holidays.
