Christmas with the Elders

The halls of the Lighthouse Rehabilitation & Healthcare Center were decked to mark the holiday season as the seniors gathered with our National Youth Advisory Board members and staff to celebrate.

During the evening, the seniors enjoyed singing carols, playing games, and receiving special gifts.

Thanks to generous donations from Rural Health Medical Program, Inc., Councilwoman Jannie Thomas, Councilman Clay Carmichael, Mrs. Eboni Thomas Pettway, Mrs. Billye Smitherman, and Alexis Perry, the guests of honor received gift bags filled with essentials they love. We were even able to put gifts under the tree for the seniors who were unable to attend.

The environment was overflowing with love. In a heartwarming gesture, the Foot Soldiers Park team led by Founder, JoAnne Bland, CEO Kimberly Smitherman, and Program Director, Angela Benjamin, personally adopted residents whose names had not yet been chosen from the Angel Tree to ensure everyone was included in the holiday cheer!

We are grateful for the opportunity to bring happiness to these seniors and we look forward to continuing to make a positive impact in our community not just during the holidays, but every day!
