Each year, the CSF partners with the Cambridge Police Department to provide donated gifts for local senior citizens in public housing, who may not have friends or family close by during the holidays.
We are collecting a host of heartwarming NEW gifts to keep our Cambridge seniors cozy, warm, and full of good cheer this winter:
- Winter clothing (Socks, slippers, sweaters)
- Festive home items (Blankets, bath robes, dish towels, large print books)
- Tasty treats (Chocolates, crackers, candy canes, jams, hard candy)
- Warm winter drinks (Ground coffee, tea, hot cocoa)
- Winter care supplies (Lip balm, cough drops, tissues, toilet paper)
We ask that donations are unwrapped – CPD will handle crafting the gift bags! We also welcome folks to participate remotely by purchasing gifts from the Secret Santa Amazon Wish List!
