Santa for Seniors Brings Christmas Magic to Even More Communities This Year

It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year!

Santa for Seniors is back for 2025 — making sure no one in Central New York is forgotten this holiday season.

And this year, we’re growing! We’ve teamed up with both the Oneida and Madison County Offices for Aging to bring holiday cheer to even more seniors across the region.

Santa for Seniors

Many seniors in our community are on limited incomes and have no family nearby.

To protect privacy, full names aren’t shared. Instead, each senior is assigned a specific code, which must be clearly marked on every gift in permanent marker to ensure the right present goes to the right person.
