Bay Aging partnered with Home Instead Senior Care as it did last year, to provide 142 seniors across the Northern Neck and Middle Peninsula with gifts this holiday season.

With nearly 340 residents in Bay Aging’s income-restricted senior apartments, a large number received Christmas gifts through the Be a Santa to a Senior program, according to a release from Bay Aging. This program provides gifts to low- or no-income seniors who might not otherwise have received them.
