London Drugs partners with the “Home Instead Senior Care” for the “Be a Santa to a Senior” program
This Christmas, many seniors who may live in isolation will get the opportunity to experience some holiday cheer. London Drugs is happy to support the “Be a Santa to a Senior” program put on by “Home Instead Senior Care”. Customers of London Drugs will get the opportunity to play the role of Santa this year by giving Christmas gifts to their local seniors.
As part of their holiday shopping, London Drugs customers can select a “Home Instead Senior Care” resident nametag from the store’s Christmas tree. Each nametag features an item selected by a senior from the community. Trees will be in participating stores until all tags have been collected at the stores or until December 12th. In the spirit of Christmas, Home Instead will deliver presents to the “Home Instead Senior Care” residence to be opened on Christmas morning.
“During the Christmas season, it is important to spread the act of giving and helping each other,” said Darryl Galick, London Drugs store manager in Victoria. “We are happy to support this initiative where seniors from the Home Instead Senior Care program experience a joyful Christmas.”
Participating London Drugs stores for the “Be a Santa to a Senior” program are:
- London Drugs, 2111 Main Street, Penticton
- London Drugs, 1950 Harvey Avenue, Kelowna
- London Drugs, 2151 Louie Drive, Westbank
- London Drugs 911 Yates St, Victoria
- London Drugs 3170 Tillicum Rd, Victoria
- London Drugs 555 Sixth Street, New Westminster
- London Drugs Coquitlam Centre 2929 Barnet Highway, Coquitlam
In order to include the family and friends of the seniors, there will also be a corresponding Christmas tree located at the “Home Instead Senior Care” office in each city to ensure visitors to the facility can also participate.
Tis’ the season to be giving, and Operation Friendship Seniors Society and London Drugs in Oliver Square are teaming up to make the holidays a little happier for Edmonton Seniors.
