This Holiday season, make a difference for seniors in Santa Cruz County!

Thank you to everyone who donated their gifts, cards, and time to Holiday Helper this year! In 2025, we distributed 3,000 gifts to over 1,200 seniors!

Each December, I-You Venture collects donations and wrapped gifts for the often forgotten seniors living in care facilities in our community. Please help us to make the holidays special and put a smile on their faces!

Gift suggestions include new lap blankets, scarves, slippers, slipper sox, socks, shirts, stuffed animals, lotions, calendars, crossword puzzles, word searches, adult coloring books, etc. Please mark wrapped packages male or female, with sizes, ready for delivery to the care facility residents. Monetary donations are also appreciated and can be made online or mailed to Family Service Agency/I-You Venture.

We accept gift donations in early December each year. If you’d like to donate a thoughtful gift to a senior any other time of year, please consider sending a card through our Thinking of You program!
