Silver Santa Giving Tree 2024

Welcome! We are delighted to once again present the Meals On Wheels of Tarrant County Silver Santa Giving Tree, which is filled with nearly 800 wishes from the homebound, elderly and disabled individuals whom we serve right here in Tarrant County. With help from the Meals On Wheels case managers, we have identified a list of clients who have needs or wishes in all sizes and price ranges. Please help us make all the wishes on our list come true and give our clients something special to open this holiday season.

As you view the wish list, be sure to look for "Buy Now" in the upper-right corner of the gift picture. If it says "Sold Out," the wish has already been adopted.

You can click on the "Categories" link at the top of the gift page and search these categories:

• $1 - $50 Gifts
• $51-$100 Gifts
• Over $100 Gifts
• Vet or Spouse of a Vet Client

You can also donate any amount to the Silver Santa General Fund. This pool of money will be used to fund unadopted wishes. To donate to the Silver Santa General Fund, click on "Gift #1" with the large dollar sign on the gift page. It will ask you to enter the amount of your donation. Then click on "Buy Now." You can either check out or continue shopping for a specific wish.

This year, we've added a shopping cart to make it easier to purchase multiple gifts in one transaction. After you've selected your first gift, enter your login information and click on the "Buy Now" link. After you've done that, you will have the option to continue shopping or check out and pay for the one gift you've selected. If you've selected several gifts, you will receive a list of gifts you have selected and the option to check out and pay for all of them in one transaction. 

NOTE: If this is your first time to use this giving platform, you will have to register as a new user when prompted to sign in. If you participated in the silent auction at this year's Sundown Stampede gala event, you likely already have a login.

The Silver Santa Giving Tree is a special holiday initiative offered as part of our Client Assistance program, through which we provide non-nutritional support to clients who have unmet needs beyond the  nutritious meals we provide to them. The Client Assistance program is funded through donor-designated gifts. In addition to minor home repairs, we provide fans, air conditioners, heaters, walkers, blankets, adult incontinence supplies, grab bars, microwave ovens, bedside toilets, personal hygiene products, and so much more. Any Silver Santa Giving Tree donations received in excess of what is necessary to fulfill the Silver Santa Giving Tree wishes received from clients for this fiscal year will be applied to the general Client Assistance program to fund eligible projects throughout the year.
