Magic in Believing™

Annual Holiday Gift Drive for Seniors

Light Heart conducts an annual holiday gift drive for Elders living in retirement/assisted living, and skilled nursing facilities and those receiving Meals on Wheels.

Caregivers interview each senior and outline what their interests are, favorite colors and any items they would love to receive for the Holidays. The seniors are then matched with community members who want to adopt them and provide the gifts. Those who adopt can either be “Secret Santas” or they may attend the Holiday Party and present their gifts in person to their Elder.

Volunteer

Community volunteers assist Light Heart in the months of November and December to carry out numerous activities that make sure the volume of seniors and those who adopt them have a smooth and delightful experience.

Tasks that are accomplished for Magic In Believing™:

• Adopting a facility or individual senior
• Transcribing interviews onto Wish Lists
• Wrapping presents
• Planning Parties
• Delivering Gifts

Last year’s annual Magic in Believing™ holiday gift drive had more than two hundred volunteers helping to provide 3,400 beautifully wrapped, personally tagged gifts for approximately1300 senior residents throughout the Sedona/Verde Valley and Prescott Valley areas.

California also had 4 facilities participating and plans are now underway to expand this event into other communities.

"What a joyful and memorable experience your organization gave to our residents this past Christmas! You and your group have helped to make a difference in this world, and this past year this difference was felt here in Camp Verde.

What a joy to have so many caring people reach out to so many people who needed to be cared for! My heart was deeply touched as were the hearts of our residents. One woman who opened a robe and clutched it to her heart said, it’s so beautiful! Is it really for me? She also received a pair of lovely slippers that miraculously matched her robe. She just couldn’t get over it! An elderly gentleman said,” That was such a lovely gift I received and they didn’t even know me”!

The fact that your organization provided so many gifts was wonderful. The fact that the gifts were of such high caliber was beyond our dreams for our residents!
We thank you so very much."
