As the winter holidays are fast approaching, the Bracebridge Library hopes to spread a little more holiday cheer to the community this year by bringing back the Santa for Seniors program! To launch the program, organizers will unveil their Christmas tree on Friday, November 18 at 10:30 am to kick off our community donation program.
How does the program work? Starting on Friday, November 18 the Library’s Christmas tree will be decorated with wish lists from seniors in our community. The public can grab a wish list, purchase an item or two, then return the wrapped gifts to the Library by Monday, December 19.
Last year they were able to help around 160 seniors and provided some well needed holiday cheer to those that were drastically affected by COVID-19.
This year organizers will be partnering with: The Pines Long-Term Care Home, James Street Retirement Residence, Castle Peak Muskoka, The Friends charitable organization, and Muskoka Algonquin Healthcare.
