watch video

    December 17, 2012 - Volunteers and employees at Home Instead are spreading holiday cheer.

    The Erie community donated gifts for 217 seniors who might not otherwise receive any presents this holiday.

    It's part of Home Instead's Be a Santa to a Senior Program that started in 2005.

    Home Instead employees are thankful for the generous donations.

"They are just seniors out in the community that have nobody," said Darcy Rees, Director of Development. "We wanted to let them know they're not forgotten, that they do matter to us we want to make sure they get a visit."

    If you know a senior who will be alone this holiday, you can still call Home Instead to have a gift delivered.

    Presents will be delivered Tuesday through Friday.
