Our Santas for Seniors program has kicked off to a great start in 2017.
We have started putting out our drop off locations in Moscow ID and Pullman WA.
If you would like to donate to our cause, you can do so here:

Please share this on your social media for us.
Last year was a huge success thanks to our donors, and we served 150 seniors. This year it will be about 250 seniors and we hope it will be just as big of a success. We serve mostly low-income seniors and disabled people in Whitman County WA and Latah County ID. We partner with area food banks and senior meal sites as well as low-income nursing homes. Our goal is to get the gifts to the outlying areas to be delivered with the food boxes or the senior meals before Christmas. We have a few locations where we need to get the deliveries out by November as the food boxes will not be given out again until after Christmas in December.
It will be a lot harder for me to do this year as I will be having a full left knee replacement done on Nov. 7th, so I will need to rely more heavily on our volunteers to help collect and sort the gifts we get for the seniors at several collection sites in Pullman WA, Moscow ID, and Potlatch ID.
We have already started some deliveries as items come in due to my recovery period.
If you can help us out, it would be greatly appreciated. We need cash to get gift bags, card making materials, and other special request gifts that do not show up at our collection sites.
If you would like to buy and mail a gift for a senior citizen, it can be sent to:
