Adopt An Elder: Make an Elder's Holiday Brighter
Program Overview: This holiday season, you can help a senior feel the warmth of community and kindness. Circle of Care St. Louis invites you to join our Adopt An Elder program, where generous sponsors bring joy to older adults who otherwise may not have the means to celebrate. Each sponsor is matched with a senior in need and receives a profile introducing them to their senior along with a wishlist of holiday gifts and necessities.
