Donate

All donations are due Friday, December 9th. Listed are the three ways to donate to the Adopt-a-Senior program:

"Adopt" a senior

When you adopt a senior, you will receive a list of items from your senior. See a sample of the wish list (pdf/78kb/1p). You are asked to purchase three items off of their list. The list will give you size and color preferences. You are also asked to purchase a $35 grocery gift card to the senior's preferred store, a book of Forever stamps, a greeting card, and an extra large gift bag. Please drop off your donations at the Via Linda Senior Center.

Optional items include personal hygiene items and home office items that are listed below. You are more than welcome to include extra items like shampoo/conditioner, razors/shaving cream, holiday-related snacks, additional items off their wish list, or items for a pet if your senior has one.
