Home Instead Senior Care is teaming up with non-profit agencies, area retailers, volunteers and members of the community to sponsor Be a Santa to a Senior, a program that collects, wraps and delivers gifts to lonely and financially challenged seniors in need. Home Instead Senior Care is the world’s largest provider of non-medical, in-home care and companionship services for older adults. Three locations in Statesboro — Nevil Tire, the Clubhouse Family Entertainment Center and University Animal Hospital — currently display Christmas trees that feature paper ornaments with seniors’ first names and their gift requests.
