What a beautiful time of celebration we shared last Tuesday!

The room was filled with laughter, music, good food, and the kind of joy that only comes from being together. From sweet conversations to full tables and smiling faces, it was a reminder of just how special this Christmas season is and how meaningful community can be.

We are so grateful for everyone who helped make A Season to Shine a wonderful time for everyone and for our seniors who bring so much heart and life into everything we do. It was more than just a time to gather. It was about connection, making memories, and taking time to celebrate one another. And we did just that!

We loved every moment and are thankful to have shared it with such an incredible group. 🎄💛

🕯️ By Candlelight Sponsors 🕯️
ROUND TWO

There’s something special about slowing down long enough to sit at the table together. No rush. No noise. Just time to share a meal and enjoy being in the same place.

We’re thankful for our By Candlelight Sponsors:

King's Drug/Outdoor
Woodmen Life Chapter 883 – Jeanette Simmons
Walmart Chipley

Because of you, this celebration feels easy and welcoming, a place where our seniors can settle in and feel comfortable. Those moments of calm and connection mean more than we can say.

Thank you for helping make space for that time together and for being part of the village that supports our seniors all year long.

💛 Beacon of Hope Sponsor 💛
We want to sincerely thank AW Excavations and the Griffin family for being a Beacon of Hope Sponsor for A Season To Shine.

This support means a great deal to us. It comes from people who believe in showing up for their community and caring about the people who live here. In their work, they help lay the groundwork that allows things to be built strong and last. In much the same way, their generosity helps strengthen the work we do for the seniors we serve.

We are grateful for the way the Griffins and AW Excavations continue to show up and support this community. Thank you for your willingness to stand with us.

We are truly thankful to have you as part of our village.

🎁🛒 Night one in the books!

This is what a night of love, lists, and a whole lot of shopping looks like.

Car packed to the brim as we wrapped up a late night of Christmas shopping last night for our Season To Shine celebration happening Tuesday.

A HUGE thank you to the GFWC Chipley Woman's Club - Florida, an event sponsor whose generous donation for gifts helped make this night possible.

Their support goes far beyond sponsorship. It reflects genuine care for our seniors and a deep commitment to making this celebration feel thoughtful and full of joy.

Every bag represents intention, kindness, and is a reminder that when our community comes together, something truly special happens.

We cannot wait to celebrate and share these moments with you. 🎄✨

*And yes, that’s the Director’s husband in the background 🙃 He’s our biggest fan and a good sport!
