‘Be a Santa’ brings comfort to senior adults

The “Be a Santa to a Senior” will once again bring comfort to older adults in the greater St. Cloud area who may be feeling a bit isolated during the holiday season.
This month, program coordinators hope to collect gifts for more than 500 local older adults.
It works this way: Shoppers can find a “Be a Santa to a Senior” tree at the Lund’s and Byerly’s store, 2510 W. Division St. in St. Cloud. Ornaments on the tree feature the name and desired gift for an older adult. Shoppers can then buy a requested gift and return it in a gift bag with the ornament attached to Lund’s and Byerly’s. The gifts will then be distributed to the senior adults in the area in time for Christmas.
The ornaments on the tree will be available through Dec. 12.
The gifts requested are not luxury items but rather personal comfort items like blankets, toiletries, slippers, postage stamps and so forth.
