SmileMakers Holiday Gift Program: Fulfilling Holiday Wishes for Older and Disabled Adults in Our Community

Our SmileMakers mobilize community support to provide holiday gifts to older and disabled adults in skilled nursing and residential care facilities every year.

Thousands of older adults are isolated and alone, having no family and friends with whom they can share special moments like the holidays.
Our SmileMakers coordinate with our Ombudsmen to provide individually wrapped gifts to thousands of long-term care residents who would otherwise be forgotten.
