Sponsor - A- Senior Program
The Sponsor - A - Senior Program provides care packages to seniors ages 55 and older who are in need during the winter and summer season. No donation is too small!
​
How It Works:
-
Donations are made to 7 Truths (online, by mail or CashApp $7Truths)
-
Seniors apply or are nominated to be put into a lottery pool by calling into our office or submitting the application online (deadline for winter Dec 1 and for Spring June 1)
-
Each senior who applies is screened to determine their individual need for the care package they selected (home goods, personal care, winter/summer clothing or utility bill pay assistance)
-
Our lottery selection committee randomly selects one senior per $100 that has been collected through donations
-
Care package recipients are notified 7 days after the application deadline
-
Care packages are purchased and delivered by 7 Truths
-
Winter care package recipients receive their packages the week before Christmas and spring care package recipients receive their packages by June 21.
Eligibility Requirements:
-
Applicants must be 55+

Applicants must live within the Metro Atlanta Area

Must provide photo id and proof of residency
