3 Most Meaningful Ways to Support Senior Recreation Centers During the Holidays

December is National Giving Month, and for those who are looking to lend their time or energy to worthwhile causes, there's no better time to get involved. The holiday season is also in full swing in December, and many seniors who might be missing out on spending time with family members would welcome the chance to connect with a friendly face. If you would like to support senior recreation centers in the Westford, Tewksbury, Lowell, and Concord areas, Senior Helpers Westford has some helpful suggestions.

  1. Organize a Live Performance

Christmas carols ignite the holiday spirit in everyone, regardless of age. Senior adults might especially benefit from a rousing performance of songs and carols that celebrate the season. If you are a musician or have connections with people who love singing and performing, consider reaching out to local senior recreation centers, such as the Cameron Senior Center in Westford, to see if you can schedule a time to put on a live performance. Many senior recreation centers are thrilled to welcome volunteers or guests who want to connect with seniors.

  1. Donate Your Time as a Volunteer

Celebrating the holiday season doesn't have to mean singing festive songs or organizing a show. One of the best ways to lend your time and support seniors is to sign up as a volunteer at one of the local senior centers. Friends of the Cameron Senior Center is a local Westford organization that works to get volunteers involved in fellowship services for senior adults. Tewksbury Senior Center is another excellent senior center that is always willing to welcome volunteers. Whether you make a plan to help out in one of the common areas or simply want to come in and visit with the seniors, you are guaranteed to have a great time and make some new friends.

  1. Offer to Organize a Gift Exchange

Exchanging gifts is one of the many ways that people like to celebrate the holiday season. All too often, however, senior adults aren't able to travel to exchange gifts with friends and family. One way to bring a little joy into the lives of seniors in the Westford and Concord areas is to work with one of the local senior recreation centers to organize a fun gift exchange. You can opt for a "white elephant" style exchange with many small gifts that residents can exchange back and forth. Not only are these gift exchanges great for inciting the holiday spirit, but they encourage seniors to connect with others, to laugh and joke as they pass gifts back and forth.
