Wishing You a Joyous Holiday Season
from District K
Dear District K Friends,

As we embrace this special time of year, I want to wish you a Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Joyous Kwanzaa, and wonderful holidays! ! This season is all about giving, love, and community, and there’s nothing more heartwarming than seeing the smiles of our seniors during the District K Turkey Gift Away. It was a beautiful reminder of the joy that comes from caring for one another.

To all the incredible leaders, volunteers, and neighbors who work tirelessly to make District K a place we’re proud to call home, thank you. Your dedication and generosity embody the joy and hope of this season, and I’m grateful for each of you.

May your holidays be filled with peace, love, and joy as we look forward to a bright new year!

Shred day is coming in January, so start gathering your items..

In service,

Martha
 

Spreading Joy and Gratitude: District K’s
Holiday Tradition
The holiday season is a time for giving, and our annual Turkey Gift-A-Way with District K seniors is a cherished tradition that fills my heart with joy.

Each year, the cost of turkeys seems to climb, as does the need within our community. Yet, what never changes is the warmth, gratitude, and shared moments we experience together—stories, smiles, and even a few tears. Watching our seniors, some arriving via MetroLift, come to be part of this event is a powerful reminder of why we continue this effort.

It’s about more than a turkey—it’s about fostering connection, showing compassion, and letting our seniors know just how much they are loved and appreciated.

I’m so grateful to my District K Team as well as our sponosrs for joining me on this journey year after year. The smiles, hugs, photos, and sense of togetherness we create are truly priceless. Enjoy these photos of our incredible seniors lighting up the season!
