Donate to the “Secret Santa for Seniors” Gift Drive! 
The holiday season is a joyous time of year for many people, but it can be lonely for senior citizens in our community who may not have family or friends to celebrate with.

Help the Cambridge Police Department put a smile on a senior’s face this year by donating an item to our annual Secret Santa for Seniors Gift Drive! Donations will be accepted now through Monday, December 19th and gifts can be dropped off in the Agassiz Baldwin Community lobby.

Suggested donations include:

  • Chocolates
  • Puzzles
  • Sweaters
  • Tea
  • Socks
  • Gift Cards
  • Jams
  • Candy Canes
  • Hard Candy
  • Dish Towels
  • Lip Balm
  • Cough Drops
  • Blankets
  • Gloves
  • Hats
  • Large Print Books
  • Slippers
  • Boston Sports Items

Cambridge Police rely solely on the generous donations from Cambridge businesses, community members, and police officers to assist us in providing this service. It is our hope to brighten the day of seniors who may be lonely on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day with a small gift that lets them know they are not forgotten.

Please contact Sergeant Kathy Murphy at (617) 349-3236 for more information or if you are interested in volunteering to help hand-deliver gift bags to seniors on the morning of December 24, 2012.
