Our SmileMakers Holiday Gift Program generates thousands of smiles as we brighten senior’s lives with an unexpected gift during the holidays.

Surprisingly, over half of the seniors in local nursing homes have no friend or family involved in their care.

Again this year, our SmileMakers and Ombudsmen will collect, wrap, and deliver over 5,000 gifts to these seniors who might otherwise be forgotten.
With your help we will buy cozy sweaters, warm clothing, and snuggly lap blankets to help seniors feel remembered and loved.
Each gift, valued at $25, will be beautifully wrapped and delivered just in time for the holidays.
Please support the SmileMakers Program and other Council on Aging programs with a gift of $25 or more today. Your gift will bring hope and joy to frail and isolated seniors this holiday season.

“You certainly live up to your name! I am truly thankful for the warm, cozy blanket. It almost feels like a hug! I need those a lot. Thankfully, you understand this need.”

“When we are all battling the effects of COVID on our lives, I was sure that the holidays would be pretty bleak. No family, no friends. Then your gift arrived and made me feel so much better. My heartfelt thanks for the gift and for all that you do for others.”
Bert, Age 88
