Santa for Seniors

admin November 14, 2016November 18, 2016 Christmas, Elderly, Huis Zonnekus, Re/Max, Santa for Seniors

A little over 8 years ago 3 friends got together and decided to put their love for the elderly into action and thus ‘Santa for Seniors’ was born.

When they mentioned to their friends, family and colleagues the idea they had to bring joy and Christmas cheer to the lives of the pensioners residing at Huis Zonnekus in Milnerton, they were met with such an overwhelmingly response they were not only able to collect gifts for Huis Zonnekus, but Huis Ysterplaat and a few of the Communicare residents too.

The concept spread like wildfire, and suddenly it was no longer the 3 friends driving the project but a larger group of friends, and their friends, and their friends . . . they realised they were part of a much larger group, a group to become known as ‘Circle of Friends’.
