Spring Cheer Program

Launched in 2020, the goal of the Spring Cheer Program is to continue the spirit of giving year-round.

For Spring Cheer 2025, we are delivering Pocket Hugs! These little heart gems remind our seniors that they are loved and appreciated. We will also be delivering hand written cards, and gift cards to our senior friends who live independently. If you would like to donate to our Spring Cheer campaign to bring cheer to isolated seniors in Calgary, please drop off gift cards to the Senior’s Secret Service Warehouse. Contact executivedirector@seniorssecretserrvice.com to arrange a time.

In 2024, we asked our donors to contribute grocery gift cards (or a donation towards them). We provided approximately 250 low income, isolated seniors with a $25 gift card that allowed them to purchase a little something special of their choosing, along with a handmade Thinking of You cards, crafted by volunteers.  In addition, we delivered gifts to our long-term care home partners to distribute to isolated seniors to bring cheer to their living environment, we partnered with several elementary and middle schools, where students created some amazing art pieces which we framed and delivered.
