Compassion in Action: Christmas Cheer with Seniors Secret Service
Join us for the December 2026 edition of our Compassion in Action series! We are partnering with Seniors Secret Service for their annual Christmas Cheer program. Together, we’ll help package, sort, and organize Secret Santa gifts so isolated Calgary seniors feel cared for, remembered, and celebrated this holiday season.

Date: Saturday, December 5th
Time: 1 to 5 pm

What We’ll be Doing
Our group will be working in the warehouse on Gift Sorting and running the Fix-It Station to ensure every senior’s gift package is thoughtfully prepared:
Gift Sort & Staging: Ensure boxes are undamaged, properly labelled, and paired with a clear content list before moving them to pallets and checking them off the site list.
Fix-It Station: Access senior profile details to supplement gift boxes using stockpiled items. Whether a profile needs one finishing touch or a few extra items, you'll ensure their original wishes are met!
Donation Sorting: Organize incoming donations from Santa’s Wish List into their proper departments within the Fix-It Station.
