Clone of 2025 Adopt-A Senior - SENIOR APPLICATION

WELCOME! For 16 years, Golden Future Expos has been a trusted name in connecting seniors with resources, opportunities, and a community that cares. Through our Adopt-A-Senior for Christmas Program, we're taking that mission beyond our expos, bringing the spirit of giving directly to seniors who need it most.

Are you a Senior facing hardship this Holiday Season? The Golden Future Senior Expo Adopt-A Senior for Christmas Program is for adults 65 years of age and older who are low income and/or experiencing financial hardship. If chosen for this program, organizations or individuals will sponsor your Christmas wish list based upon their budget. Our mission is to ensure that seniors experiencing hardship are not overlooked during the holidays, but instead are celebrated, supported, and reminded that their lives matter and their community cares.

Deadline to apply is 5pm Sunday, November 15th 2026 and those approved will be notified on or before December 1st. Please note that space is limited, and submitting an application does not guarantee acceptance into the program. If approved, your sponsor will contact you directly to coordinate arrangements for receiving your gifts. Depending on the arrangements, gifts may be delivered to your home, mailed, or made available for pickup. All gifts should be received by December 24th 2026.

*DISCLAIMER: If you are matched with a Sponsor and they become unable to fulfill your wish list, you can re-apply for our 2027 Adopt-A Senior Program on priority status (pending you still meet all of the qualifications). GFE is not permitted to be a Sponsor.

Qualifications:

1. Must be a Southern California Resident AND currently living in Southern California.

2. Must be 65 years of age or older and provide a valid California Driver's License or State ID Card.

3. Must be low income and/or with current financial hardship.

4. Previous Participation Policy: To ensure that our Adopt-A Senior for Christmas Program reaches as many seniors in need as possible, priority will be given to individuals who have not previously participated. While past recipients are welcome to apply again, selection is not guaranteed and will depend on sponsor availability and individual circumstances.

5. This application is per household with a max of (2) adults living in the household eligible to apply. If there are (2) adults in the household, both must meet the above qualifications, and you will only need to fill out (1) application.

IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT NOTIFICATION OF ACCEPTANCE INTO THE PROGRAM: Applicants selected for the program will receive an email from the Golden Future Expos team, so please keep an eye on your inbox and spam folder. With a limited number of sponsorships available, we unfortunately cannot accommodate every applicant. Only those selected will receive an email notification. If you do not hear from us by December 1, 2026, you have not been selected to participate this year. We appreciate your understanding and welcome you to apply again next year.

Due to the anticipated high volume of applications we may need to close the application process earlier than the posted deadline. We encourage interested seniors to apply as soon as possible to ensure their application is received before registration closes. Golden Future Expos Inc. reserves the right to close registration early based on application volume and available sponsorships.

NO PHONE INQUIRIES WILL BE ACCEPTED: As a community-based program with limited administrative resources, we are unable to accommodate phone inquiries or requests for application updates. We appreciate your understanding and ask that you carefully review all program details before applying. Urgent inquiries may be emailed to info@goldenfutureexpos.com.

Thank you and we wish you a joyful Holiday Season!
