✨ Exciting News to Share! ✨
We are thrilled to announce that The Coast Star newspaper featured a beautiful article highlighting our growing partnership with the Santa for Seniors intergenerational program with Manasquan Elementary School. This partnership was curated with care by our team and the founder of Santa for Seniors, Christine Melfi. This project was made possible through her hard work and dedication to Manasquan Elementary School.
This piece showcases the heart of what we do here at The Orchards—building meaningful connections, fostering purpose, and creating moments that span generations.
A very special spotlight was given to our dear resident Phil L., who shared his personal experience with the program. His heartfelt reflections truly capture the impact these visits have had on him, as well as the joy and growth the children have experienced through spending time with our seniors.
We are incredibly proud of this partnership and grateful for the opportunity to contribute to such a powerful, community-building initiative. ❤️
Bridging generations, sharing stories, and creating memories—this is what it’s all about.
Here’s to many more visits, conversations, and smiles!
