Torsten Steinfatt will be interviewed today on NBC12
At the noon hour today, Torsten Steinfatt, owner and president of Home Instead Senior Care of Richmond, will be interviewed on NBC12 to talk about Home Instead’s successful Be a Santa to a Senior gift giving program. Tune in! We understand the short segment will be on air between 12:10 and 12:20 pm today.
Our Be a Santa to a Senior gift tree program has been very successful already this year. Three gift trees serving over 125 lonely or needy seniors in the area have been available at local Walgreens locations and today is the last day to return gifts so that we have time to wrap them all and get them ready for delivery to the seniors prior to Christmas.
“Last Friday, we had over 75% of the gifts already returned to the Walgreens stores so we have no doubt that all gifts will be received today,” says Steinfatt. We thank the community for coming out in support of this program and for donating gifts to seniors in our area who really are in need.”
This gift giving program has drawn even more community support. An arrangement was made with the Steward School (lower school) to decorate the gift bags for the seniors’ gifts and 4th and 5th graders have completed many of the gift bags this year already as part of their community service project. “…And we’ve had requests from other classes to participate so we have no shortage of hand-decorated gift bags this year — a gift in and of itself,” says Steinfatt.

And, remember, if you’ve removed an ornament from one of the three trees in Walgreen’s stores, please return the gifts today to the store where you took the ornament. Our Home Instead volunteers and staff will ensure all gifts will be given to the deserving seniors. Thank you, Richmond!
