CARE CLOSET SPECIAL REQUEST – SHARE JOY THIS HOLIDAY SEASON 

 

This time of year is all about community and kindness, and we are incredibly grateful to everyone who has supported the Care Closet throughout the year. Your generosity has helped create something truly wonderful for our school!

 

A special thank-you goes to the residents of The Kenney, who generously raised funds to support Gatewood’s Care Closet - simply because they heard about the good happening here and wanted to help. Their thoughtfulness is a beautiful reminder that even small gestures can make a big difference.

​

As we head into winter break, let’s give BEYOND Gatewood and say thanks by sharing some holiday cheer with our friends at The Kenney. A heartfelt card, a handmade craft, or some extra treats from a family baking day can mean so much to seniors who may feel lonely this time of year. 

​

There’s no need to plan anything big - just drop off any goodies or small items whenever you’re able @ 7125 Fauntleroy Way SW. It’s a meaningful way to teach our children about giving and to share the spirit of the season as a family. Together, we can bring a little warmth and cheer to our friends at The Kenney all month long.
