DAVENPORT, IOWA (November 21, 2023) — The holiday season is the time of year when we think of those who are less fortunate. Most of our thoughts and donations go to organizations that support children, families and the homeless. But each year hundreds of Quad City area older adults go without meals, gifts, and companionship due to lack of family, friends, and financial resources.

The Center for Active Seniors Inc (CASI) is working with Quad City area senior-service agencies and senior-living facilities to ensure that older adults are not forgotten about this holiday season through the Senior Secret Santa program.

The success of this program is not possible without the support of area businesses and individuals. The goal is still the same, making the difference in the lives of our most vulnerable older adults. It is easy to be a part of the gift giving program. Please consider supporting this annual effort.

  • Wish Tags are available now through Monday, December 4on the CASI Giving Tree. 
  • All gifts and gift tags must be returned to CASI by Friday, December 8. CASI is located at 1035 W Kimberly Rd, Davenport, IA 52806. 

For more information, call the Center for Active Seniors, Inc. at (563) 386-7477 or e-mail info@CASIseniors.org.
