Holiday Giving

Bringing Comfort & Joy

For many clients of St. Joseph's Care Group, whether living in long-term care or navigating recovery through our Addictions and Mental Health programs, the holiday season can be a lonely time. Some have no family nearby, no visitors, and no gifts waiting under the tree. Be Their Secret Santa helps bring comfort and joy to these individuals through thoughtful, personalized gifts.

How Clients are Submitted to the Program

Each year, St. Joseph's Care Group staff refer more than 600 clients from Long-Term Care and Addictions and Mental Health programs to Be Their Secret Santa. Staff share each client's preferences, helping our volunteer elves prepare personalized gifts. In December, volunteers carefully pack the donated items, which are delivered to clients on the Sunday before Christmas, bringing a little extra warmth and joy to their holiday season.
