Secret Shopper Giving Program
The Soroptimists of Seattle have partnered with the City of Seattle Human Services Department, Aging and Disability Services since 2004 to provide gifts to their senior women clients. Gifts include blankets, socks, gloves, winter coats, clothing, bed linens, pots and pans, groceries, toiletries, and something special for each unique woman. Each gift is wrapped especially for the holidays and brought to the Department of Aging and Disability Services for distribution by the recipient’s case manager.
Two Ways to Give
Financial Donations
If you don’t want to shop for gifts, you may donate funds and a SISM club member can do the shopping on your behalf.
Purchase Gifts from the Wish List
Our Amazon Wish List is updated year-round. SISM may include specific gifts from our senior women's wish lists as the holidays approach. Thank you for your consideration and donations.
