Fulfill an elderly person's holiday gift wish!

For the 8th year in a row Home Instead Senior Care will be sponsoring the Be A Santa to a Senior program.  This program gives back to local seniors who most likely would not have received a holiday gift.  We have over 300 gift requests.  

Holiday trees with gift request tags have been set up all over the local area. Visit www.beasantatoasenior.com to see tree locations.  In Norton we have a tree at Lori's Consignment Shop at 199 West Main St. and a tree at Bank of America of Norton.  A tree is also located at 555 Pleasant St. #104 in Attleboro.  Once you take a gift request tag you buy the present and then bring it back to the location where you took the tag.  Example of gift requests from the seniors:  large print books, lotion, silky scarfs, hat and glove set.  

This is a wonderful program and a great way to help out a population that is often forgotten at this time of year.
