🎁 No Child Should Wake Up Feeling Forgotten This Christmas

Every year, countless kids in our community go without a single new toy, not because they don’t deserve one, but because life has been harder on their families than most of us ever see.

A new toy isn’t “just a toy.”
It’s hope.
It’s joy.
It’s a reminder that someone cares.

You can be that reminder.

If you’re able, please bring a new, unwrapped toy to Parker Place Retirement Community.
A small gift from you can make a huge difference for a child who needs it this season.

Let’s make sure no child feels invisible this Christmas

🎃 Happy Halloween! 👻
What a spooktacular day we had! We enjoyed a cozy fall meal with pumpkin soup, chili, cornbread, and dirt cake for dessert. Residents had fun guessing how many spider rings were in the jar and playing a few lively rounds of bingo! It was a wonderful day full of laughter and Halloween cheer. We can’t wait to see all the trick-or-treaters tomorrow night! 🍬🕷️🧡

🎯 Where’s Waldo Day! 👀

Today was “Where’s Waldo?!” — and let me tell ya, he was everywhere! 😄

We had a frightfully fun lunch featuring worms, eyeballs, and monster fingers, with a spooky graveyard dessert to top it all off! 💀🍬

Residents also took their best guess at how many eyeballs were in the jar — any guesses out there? 👁️👁️

To finish the day, we got creative and painted our pumpkins! 🎨🎃
A huge thank you to our awesome maintenance man and his wonderful family for donating all the pumpkins — you helped make our day extra special! ❤️

👻 White Day Fun! 👻

Today was all about white — ghosts, skeletons, and mummies! Our residents enjoyed ghost face pizza for lunch, followed by “mini pumpkins” (ha!) and delicious ghost cupcakes for dessert. 🎃🧁

We also tested our guessing skills with a “Guess How Many in the Jar” game — this time it was filled with mummy army men! 🏺🧟‍♂️

To top it all off, we played a lively round of pumpkin ring toss — there were plenty of laughs and lots of creative techniques as everyone tried to land those rings around the stems. What a spook-tacular day! 💀🕸️👻
