The holidays are quickly approaching, and this time of year is especially meaningful for those we serve and the team members who care for them every day.

In the video, Elaine—who calls Ecumen St. Benedict’s Community in St. Cloud home—shares her heartfelt gratitude for the team there who support her. Her words remind us how powerful connection, kindness, and compassion are, especially during the holiday season.

For those we serve, the holidays bring reflection, memories, and a deep appreciation for the people who make them feel at home. For our team members, it’s a time to continue showing up with care, dedication, and heart. We’re grateful for stories like Elaine’s that capture the true spirit of the season.
