Even though the Canada Post strike is continuing, the organizer of Santas for Seniors Queens County says seniors will still get their gifts in time for Christmas.
In previous years, organizer Kendra Shot has mailed out the cards. But this year, she says that she and some other women will hand deliver more than 300 envelopes with gift cards to seniors around Queens County.
On Tuesday, Shot got some great news that somebody wanted to adopt 50 seniors.
This is the fifth year for the volunteer-led program, which helps low-income people 55 and over celebrate Christmas. Over the past four years, the group has helped more than 1,200 Queens County seniors.
Shot expects to have 337 seniors “adopted” by Friday.
