Decorating Christmas Trees for Seniors: Community Service
In a world that often moves too fast, the holidays offer a rare chance to
slow down, connect, and give back. This December, our community is coming together
for a simple but powerful act of kindness: decorating Christmas trees for
seniors.
Last year this event took off when one senior woman, seated in a cozy armchair, watched
the decorating unfold with a smile that said everything. Her happiness wasn’t
just about the ornaments it was about being remembered, included, and
celebrated.

Why It Matters
Christmas is more than gifts and glitter. It’s a time of giving especially
to those who need it most. Many seniors face the holidays alone, without family
nearby or the means to decorate. By showing up with an ornament and a warm
heart, volunteers gave the gift of presence, beauty, and belonging.
How You Can Help
- Host your own decorating party at a local senior center or
assisted living facility
- Donate ornaments or lights to community groups serving
older adults
- Spend time with a senior neighbor share a
cup of coffee, a story, or a walk
Small gestures can have lasting impact. This season, let’s keep the
spirit of service alive not just in December, but all year long.
