Tis the Season for sharing comfort and joy. Our new corporate supporter, Metis Global Partners, spent the morning and lunchtime with our seniors by sponsoring Bingo, serving meals, and brightening smiles with their laughter and spirits. We are incredibly thankful for their time, talent, and treasures and we can’t wait to welcome them back to Serving Seniors soon.
