Gifts of Light Nursing Homes

​Second Wind Dreams® invites all skilled nursing centers who are Dreams members to participate in Gifts of Light.  This annual program provides Holiday gifts and visits for your residents who would otherwise receive none.  We rely on you to communicate your residents’ wish lists which are then matched up with local volunteers.  Thanks to the generosity from donors, sponsors, and volunteers, elders’ lives are brightened every Holiday season.  If you would like to check your Dreams member status or sign up to become a Dreams member, please email shauna@seconndwind.org. 

Due to COVID and visitation restrictions, volunteers will be asked to drop-off or ship gifts (or cards) to your nursing home. Gifts are requested to arrive the week of December 12-16, 2022. Please refer to your state's current COVID response guidelines to determine how long mail/packages should "sit" before distributing to your elders. 

Once we receive your notification of interest, we will email you additional details and a link to submit your residents' wish list online. Please provide ONLY elders' names who receive little or no visitors or gifts. 
Gift Ideas: Blue cardigan sweater size large, sugar free cookies, or hand lotion. 
*If you receive a wish idea exceeding $50 value, please submit this request and elder’s story as an e-dream
​to www.secondwind.org and we will be happy to help you raise funding.

Wish List Deadline: October 24, 2022

Please complete the form below and we will contact you shortly.
*We will do our best to meet everyone’s wishes; however, we cannot guarantee volunteer participation so please do not give your residents any expectations that may lead to disappointment.  ​
