For over 20 years, we’ve brightened the holidays for seniors

in our local communities through our holiday gift program.

Help make a senior’s holiday special!

  • Our Referral Partners, local facilities and senior service organizations, identify seniors who may not receive gifts this holiday season.

  • Gift requests are turned into tags, placed on public trees, and shared with Program Partners (businesses and organizations who commit to sponsoring 10+ seniors).

  • Once purchased and wrapped, gifts are returned to the location where the tag was obtained; we collect the gift bags for delivery to their recipients by the organizations who enrolled them in our program.

Key Dates:

  • Gift tags available from November 15th until they are gone!

  • Gifts due: December 6

Find A Public Tree Location

 

What You Do

  1. Find a tree location most convenient to you.

  2. Pick a Request Tag: Choose a tag with a senior's holiday wish(es).

  3. Shop for Gifts: Purchase new items* that match the tag.

  4. Bag the Gifts: Place the gifts in a holiday gift bag and securely attach the tag where it's visible.

  5. Return the Gift: Bring the bagged gift back to where you got your tag(s) by December 6.

  6. We Deliver: Karis Care Services will ensure your gift is delivered by Christmas Day.

*Gift requests come from local older adult service agencies. If you can’t afford all the items on the tag, prioritize the pricier one or choose a simpler tag. Every tag represents a real person, and this is their only holiday gift.
