BrentwoodStrong announced they have launched its 2024 Adopt-a-Senior program for this holiday season with a goal of helping more than 200 seniors.
This program has been running and serving our seniors for 5 years, with over a thousand seniors being served since 2020! This has become a VERY special community effort with many partners and collaborators, including YOU; coming together to support those that need us most.
Our GOAL is to adopt over 200 local seniors who will truly appreciate the blessing of some gifts and your friendship this holiday season. THANK YOU Brentwood and beyond, for being such an important part of this neat program each year!
Many seniors in our community do not have the means, the family or their health, to fully enjoy the holiday season, which is what Adopt- A-Senior is all about! This program provides our seniors with a meal, gifts of their choosing, grocery gift cards and holiday cheer from our local families and students.
There are a couple of ways to provide a joyous holiday to our folks in need. The City of Brentwood Senior Center is collaborating with BrentwoodSTRONG 501(c)3 to connect seniors with generous sponsors HERE. Join us, spreading the spirit of the season.
