Santa for Seniors
Retired truck driver Frank Hoffman, 69, tears up as he receives a surprise delivery of Christmas gifts from volunteers Mel and Teddi McCaw at Saint Francis Woods senior home in Peoria Sunday afternoon. The couple were two of more than 50 volunteers who personally delivered gifts to 775 seniors and shut-in individuals who may not have otherwise received Christmas gifts this year. In its 21st year, the program, run by Neighborhood House in South Peoria, gathers donated gifts from UFS, the Salvation Army and private individuals. "I don't know what to say, or how to say thank you, but it means an awful lot," Hoffman said. DAVID ZENTZ/JOURNAL STAR
