Be A Santa To A Senior (BASTAS)

This annual event starts in mid-November and runs through mid-December.  The Commission on Aging, Home Instead, Mt. Diablo Boy Scouts, and dozens of volunteers work together to collect names of low to no income senior citizens that will receive a modest gift request of their choice.  Those gift requests are put on paper ornaments that are placed on holiday trees located in different public facilities around the city where people can pick up an ornament, but the gift and deliver the unwrapped gift back to the location or drop off at the senior center.  The goal is to ensure that NO senior goes without one beautifully wrapped gift during the holiday season.

A gift wrap party is set for mid-December where volunteers will wrap and deliver gifts to the senior citizens.  It is a wonderful community event that spans ALL generations, races, religions, and economic backgrounds.

If you are interested in participating, please contact concordsc@cityofconcord.org.
