Gifts for Seniors' 2025 Valentines Day Gift Drive

The social mission:

Gifts for Seniors strives to alleviate the devastating adverse health impacts of loneliness and social isolation for over 7,000 older adults. Our inclusive programs provide life-affirming contact and equitable access to community resources for living and aging well.

The community challenge:

In our changing social structure, loneliness among older adults has become exceedingly prevalent. Losing connections to family, friends, and the community leads to greater risks for health and wellbeing decline. In 2023, the U.S. Surgeon General declared loneliness as a new public health epidemic. This societal crisis will be exacerbated by the permanent demographic shift of having more older adults than school-aged children in our communities.
