Join Eco Guardian in “Picking a Wish” for Seniors at 2 Local
Long Term care facilities.
Eco Guardian Inc. is excited to announce the launch of our 3rd annual Santa to a Senior program. This year, we are proud to have adopted two nursing homes: Eagle Terrace Nursing and Mackenzie Place Long Term Care Home. Our mission is to bring holiday cheer to over 100 senior residents by ensuring each one receives a special gift this Christmas season.
You can put a smile on the face of someone living in one of two Newmarket long-term-care homes this holiday season.
Eco Guardian has brought back its annual Santa for a Senior campaign.
“Our mission is to ensure that every senior feels remembered and cherished during this special season,” marketing director, Jon Barnes, said in an email.
“We are seeking sponsors to help us provide gifts and spread joy to these wonderful individuals, who often have no one to celebrate with.”
The community is invited to go to the company’s office at 100 Harry Walker Pkwy. N. from Monday to Friday between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m.
This year, Eco Guardian has also added weekday evenings and weekends by appointment. Contact 647-588-0009 or 647-388-2659.
On the Christmas tree, there are ornaments for more than 100 residents of Eagle Terrace and MacKenzie Place long-term-care homes.
Pick an ornament, which includes a wish from a resident, and buy that person a gift. Place it in a gift bag and not wrapped and return it to Eco Guardian by Dec. 13 so presents can be distributed in time for the holidays.
The company runs the campaign every year “to provide happiness to those during the holiday season,” Barnes said.
“Part of our mission is to share and improve the sense of community where we live and work. We also sponsored dinner for the front-line workers of both facilities.”
The company wants to give residents of the homes a sense of belonging during the holidays, Barnes said.
“Last year we brought in a choir to sing carols and one of our staff members was Santa Claus,” he added.
“Many of the residents were clapping and felt their inner child come out.”
