Our annual holiday gathering with the senior residents of Vine St was a heartwarming success! Some of our residents don’t have family nearby for the holidays, so this event was especially important in bringing everyone together. Thanks to the generosity of our Board members, staff, and donors, we were able to provide gift bags filled with necessities, toiletries, and fun recreational items.

Led by our Resident Service Coordinator and Community Engagement Manager, the day was filled with music, drum circles, games, and lively conversation. For those unable to attend, we delivered meals so everyone could join in the celebration, no matter where they were.
​
It was a day full of connection, joy, and community—reminding us all of the importance of togetherness during the holiday season. We’re already looking forward to next year!

This fall, we hosted a fun community event at the 54 S Prospect Center, where both kids and adults could enjoy a little seasonal joy. We handed out candy goodie bags, set up arts and crafts stations with activities like fall coloring pages, paint, and other crafts, and created a space for everyone to get creative and festive. It was a wonderful way to connect with neighbors, share some treats, and celebrate the season together. 
​
In addition to the gathering at 54 S Prospect Center, Kathy our Resident Service Coordinator (RSC) distributed candy goodie bags at our other two community centers at 127 Martin St and 4- Vine St, spreading the joy to even more families and friends across the neighborhood.  We can’t wait to do it again next year!

Charter Oaks Cultural Center brought a musical session for the children of Sheldon Oak’s Community Center at 54 South Prospect Street. The talented music teacher from the local cultural center led our session, which featured drumsticks and music buckets. We all gathered in a circle, fostering a sense of community as we crafted rhythmic beats together. This session was especially educational for the children who had the opportunity to delve into the world of percussion. They learned essential skills, such as holding and using drumsticks properly, along with various musical tips and tricks. It was a fun experience that sparked a love for music and rhythm in young hearts.

​We had a fantastic start to the summer with our recent ice cream social at our community center on 54 S Prospect St. Our event was full of fun, with coloring pages, lots of laughter, and, of course, plenty of sprinkles! It was the perfect sweet treat to beat the summer heat.
