Happy New Year!
2025 was filled with excitement and meaningful milestones, and we are confident that the year ahead will be even better. We are deeply grateful to everyone who contributed to the success of our mission, and we look forward to continuing this important work together in 2026.
We are thrilled to share that our Holiday Gift Program has officially wrapped up for the year, and what an incredible success it was! Nearly 400 clients received customized gift bags designed to brighten their holidays. The overwhelming generosity from our community made it clear just how loved and supported our clients truly are.
We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who helped make the Holiday Gift Program possible:
Joan Kessner and her incredible team, who organized and packaged each gift bag
Community members who generously contributed requested items and gift cards
Our volunteers who delivered gift bags alongside daily meal deliveries
Our staff who took on additional responsibilities like distributing lists, answering questions, coordinating logistics, and ensuring gifts were delivered on the correct routes; all while continuing their regular duties
This program would not be nearly as successful without each of you. Thank you for your hard work, dedication, and commitment to making the holidays extra special for every recipient.
Annual Survey Update
We have now received nearly all our annual surveys back. Thank you to everyone who took the time to complete the survey and share honest feedback. Our team will review the results carefully to identify opportunities for improvement while also recognizing what is working well.
Wishing everyone a healthy and happy 2026. It is truly an honor to serve this amazing community!
