Annual Secret Santa Appeal

STAR’s Annual Secret Santa appeal brings the entire community together to spread joy and bring smiles to the faces of those who need it most. It is a cherished tradition where we rally support to provide gifts and essentials to the elderly who would spend the festive season alone.

Since it’s launch in 2019, the program has delivered Christmas hampers to 5638 socially isolated seniors!

About this cause

Your gift will bring joy to an elderly person who is on their own this Christmas. Many recipients let us know that this will be the only gift they will receive and it is truly appreciated. Thank you for joining STAR to show our seniors that someone cares about them and that they are not alone. We will work tirelessly to get gifts to as many people in your area as possible this Christmas.
