Over the years, the program grew into something much deeper than a seasonal gesture. It became a way to honor the dignity of those who came before us, to remind them they are not forgotten, and to celebrate the beauty of connection at any age. Now, 35 years later, that spirit lives on through Baskets of Cheer—a heartfelt continuation of that original vision. Every December, volunteers come together to assemble and deliver these special baskets, still filled with thoughtful items, but more importantly, delivered with warmth, laughter, and companionship.

If you would like to be part of this meaningful tradition—by donating items, volunteering to deliver, or simply spending time with someone who may need a friendly face—please click here. If a monetary donation is your preferred way to help, you can visit our Donate tab to contribute. With your help, we can continue to bring a smile, a moment of joy, and a deep sense of belonging to someone special in our community. Because sometimes, the greatest gift we can give is our presence—and the simple act of showing up can mean more than we’ll ever know.
