Seniors Secret Service Organization Overview

Our mission is to enhance the quality of life for individuals 60 years or older who are alone or isolated in the community. We are a volunteer based non-profit organization that has been providing cheer to isolated and lonely seniors since 1985. We currently operate three programs, two of which operate year-round. Additionally, since March of 2020 we have been supporting seniors who have basic needs that are not being met due to Covid19 restrictions. 

Christmas Cheer:

In 2020 over 5050 isolated seniors were matched with volunteer Secret Santas. We provide the Secret Santa with a seniors profile and they go shopping and purchase needed items. Our seniors live in a range of different housing from independent living up to 24 hour care facilities.

2020 brought new challenges with all the Covid19 restrictions. We knew it was important to continue our Christmas Cheer program as for many of our seniors, this is the only opportunity they have during the year to access new clothes, shoes and personal items as well to hopefully receive a little something that brightens their day. By moving to a uniform packing box for all the gifts we were able to reduce the number of volunteers needed from 200+ to less than 20 at any time. While this process was costly, it was money well spent to ensure that the seniors who had been even more isolated over the year still received some much needed Christmas Cheer.
