Silver Santas is a grassroots project of Better Living for Seniors in Pinellas county.  Our goal is to provide gifts during the holiday season to isolated and low-income seniors living in assisted living, senior housing communities and at home. The gift recipients are identified by professional Guardians, Case/Social Workers, Senior Community/Activity Directors, and other professionals.  They submit a wish list for their seniors and we solicit the public to 'adopt' the senior and provide the items on the list. Your tax-deductible donations are requested to purchase commonly requested items such as toiletries, socks, slippers, blankets, pajamas, etc.  We welcome you to support the Silver Santas effort by making a monetary donation below or donating specific items.  To Learn More About Silver Santas Click here
