Holiday Charity
The Cottages of Emmett is a smaller, home-like assisted living and memory care facility that has been providing specialized care for seniors with Alzheimer’s and other types of dementia since 2001. Partnering with them this past holiday season gave us the opportunity to provide individual, personalized gifts for 24 residents.
Our generous members came together and donated so many wonderful items for these baskets. Can’t wait to do it again next year!
