HOLIDAY HELPERS 2025
BRIGHTEN THE HOLIDAYS FOR SENIORS IN OUR COMMUNITY
Aster is collecting gifts for the holidays to ensure that vulnerable older adults in our community can experience the magic of the holiday season. Last year, we provided over 700 seniors with plentiful holiday gift bags, and hundreds more benefitted from our annual holiday luncheons. Your impact this holiday season is big. Beneficiaries of this unique program might otherwise not receive anything for the holidays.
With your help, we can bring the holiday spirit to even more seniors this year!
GIFT COLLECTION WISH LIST
Interested in collecting new items for seniors in need? Please see below for our list of suggestions. We ensure that your gifts will be given to our most isolated participants, who may not otherwise be remembered during the holidays.
We serve seniors from a wide variety of backgrounds and faiths, so we ask that all gifts that celebrate the holiday season are without a specific religious focus.

| Nightlights, LED Strips & Puck Lights | Candy & Packaged Snacks | Calendars |
| Jigsaw Puzzles | Puzzle Books (large print preferred) | Adult Coloring Books |
