Private, non-profit, and governmental programs and agencies throughout the ten county metropolitan area participate in the Gifts for Seniors program. These organizations provide a variety of direct services to senior citizens throughout the year and are best able to identify those seniors who would otherwise not be remembered or receive a gift during the winter holidays. The gifts donated to Gifts for Seniors and delivered by agency staff or volunteers are often the only form of acknowledgement and recognition these older members of our community receive during the holidays. Staff and volunteers from each agency match a donated gift to each individual senior and arrange for the gift to be personally delivered.    The following agencies are participating with Gifts for Seniors this year:
