CONCORD, N.H.–New Hampshire FCU’s Santa for Seniors Giving Tree donation drive resulted in community members contributing gift cards and homemade holiday cards, which were placed on “Giving Trees” in each NHFCU lobby for two weeks.
In Mid-December, Santa delivered more than $1,500 in gift card donations and homemade cards to nine senior facilities in the NHFCU services areas. Though most facilities are in lockdown due to COVID-19, many residents and staff had the pleasure of waving to Santa from inside.
Contributing to Santa for Seniors this year was an opportunity to deliver hope and holiday cheer to seniors in our communities. Hundreds of seniors in long-term care facilities have not been able to visit with family since last spring.
NHFCU is grateful to our members, staff, and the public, who generously helped make a difference for seniors in an especially challenging year, the credit union said.
