We've been filled with festive cheer this past month, hosting and supporting numerous Christmas lunches for our social groups! It's been wonderful to see so many people come together to celebrate the season, connect with others, and enjoy some delicious food. These gatherings are a vital part of our mission to foster community and combat social isolation, especially during the holidays. We believe everyone deserves to feel connected and supported.
