Health extended care facility is looking for people to be a "secret santa" or "holiday helper" for seniors.
130 extended nursing home residents at oneida health are faced with spending the holiday alone... this program will allow anyone who wishes to donate a gift to a resident, to do so through amazon.com, in a secure and easy way.
The amazon wish list is made up of items that were specifically requested by each resident and other more generic activity-based items which can be used by the entire facility.

You can find the link on our website, wktv.com.
