Our GHA family enjoyed a traditional Thanksgiving meal together this past week. It was a great time to gather and enjoy delicious food and fellowship with everyone. A special thank you to our Residential Programs and Second Street Sundries for preparing food, Immanuel Baptist Church for allowing us to use their facility, Direct Care & Central Office staff for their help during the event, and Tina Sturdivant for coordinating a wonderful meal together! It’s always fun to gather and create special memories together.

Everyone enjoyed a delicious meal and an evening filled with gratitude, connection, and celebration of the amazing partnerships that make our work possible! Special thanks to our incredible staff for organizing such a meaningful event!

Our Wilmington residents had an awesome time at the Salty Ceramics pottery studio! Each person got to roll up their sleeves, get creative, and design their own unique pottery masterpiece. It was such a fun and hands-on outing full of smiles, laughter, and artistic expression! 🖌️💙🖌️

The costume and pumpkin decorating contests made selecting winners difficult for our judges. Thank you to staff for planning and helping make our event special for the individuals we support at GHA!
