KIDS TURN CHRISTMAS CREATIVITY INTO CARDS FOR HUNDREDS OF CENTRAL COAST SENIORS Meals on Wheels™ Australia joins Home Instead’s Be A Santa To A Senior program to spread festive joy and reduce isolation for older Australians. Christmas joy is on the menu for Central Coast seniors this December, with Meals on Wheels™ Australia drivers set to carry some extra special cargo to help in–home care provider Home Instead reduce festive season social isolation. As part of Home Instead’s national Be A Santa To A Senior program, the volunteer meal delivery service is helping to deliver nationwide more than 12,500 Christmas cards, which have been decorated by children, to spread some Christmas cheer.
Locally, Home Instead Central Coast & Newcastle have been playing Santa, coordinating the delivery of 200 cards via Meals on Wheels™ and at a special lunch event.
A child’s heartwarming message for a senior, handwritten on one of Home Instead’s Be A Santa To A Senior cards.
The cards, lovingly decorated by children aged five to 13, from Broken Bay Scouts Group, were also hand–delivered to seniors at Woy Woy Meals on Wheels™ Community Restaurant lunch on Friday, December 1, and also distributed by the service’s drivers.
“Everyone had a wonderful time at the Christmas lunch and one of the Broken Bay Scouts, Xavier, who is six years old, was there to present the cards,” Home Instead Central Coast & Newcastle Community Engagement Manager Samantha Farham said. “It was really heartwarming to see the happy interactions between the seniors
