Commissioners Recognize December as Be a Santa to a Senior Month in Lake County

PAINESVILLE, Ohio, November 26, 2024– Home Instead Senior Care created the Be a Santa to a Senior program to support lonely or isolated older adults. This program aims to give to those in need by partnering with local organizations to make sure isolated seniors receive gifts and companionship during the holiday season.

The Board of Commissioners is one such partner and has hosted a tree for the previous five years and are hosting a tree this year as well.  The tree is decorated with ornaments featuring seniors’ first names and gift or gift card suggestions.  The tree is located on the fifth floor of the Lake County Administration Center outside of chambers, at 105 Main St., in Painesville.

The Commissioners want to remind those who have taken an ornament from the tree to return the unwrapped gift item to the same location by December 6, 2024, in order to be delivered to seniors in time for the holidays. Please click here to read the entire press release.
