Christmas Meals
Cooking three meals a day, 365 days a year, is a huge task for our kitchen staff. Because of this, they don’t have much time to prepare a special holiday meal for our community and residents. This year, we’re asking our community to step in and help by providing all cooked food items for Christmas. Please click the button see available slots and to sign up. Thank you for your heart to serve, and have a very Merry Christmas!
Santa's Workshop
Volunteers, we need your help to make this a magical day of giving, joy, and Christmas cheer for our families on December 20th, 2025. During this special event, families will take photos with Santa and his elves, select gifts for their loved ones to be wrapped by Santa’s helpers, enjoy festive games, and savor delicious snacks and drinks. The day will end with a beautiful performance featuring excerpts from The Nutcracker by Betty’s School of Dance! We need volunteers to help guide families through the activities, assist with gift selection and wrapping, help run games, serve refreshments, and help create a warm, welcoming Christmas experience for everyone. Elves attire is highly encouraged—let’s spread the Christmas spirit! Please review the available slots below and click the button to sign up. Thank you so much for giving your time to make this day truly special!
