While the COVID pandemic, has removed many of the in-person volunteer opportunities in 2020, we wanted to retain our long-standing holiday tradition at Jaburg Wilk of adopting seniors. For the past decade, Jaburg Wilk employees have adopted senior citizens for the holidays and purchased them holiday gifts. This annual giving event remains one of the most popular community service projects at our firm.
This year was different and included remote shopping and shipping. Our in-office essential workers helped wrap and bag the purchased gifts. We adopted 25 seniors through the “Santa for a Senior” program. Most of the gift recipients may not receive a holiday gift other than our gift. Many Jaburg Wilk employees purchase their gift in memory of a deceased loved one. Sponsor of the program, Home Instead Senior Care, collects hundreds of gifts that are then distributed to each adopted senior in the greater Phoenix area.
