Be A Santa To A Senior

Be A Santa To A Senior Program Home Instead Toronto East

This holiday season, Home Instead Toronto East is proud to continue our cherished “Be A Santa To A Senior” program, bringing joy and companionship to seniors in our community who might otherwise go without gifts during the holidays.

About Our Local Program

Led by our Toronto East office at 953 Woodbine Avenue, Allan Skeete, our Community Relations Manager, coordinates this heartwarming initiative. While previously managed at the national level, our local Managing Director, Colin Macdonald, has ensured this meaningful tradition continues for our Toronto East seniors.
