Celebrating the Season: Watercrest Spanish Springs Supports Wreaths Across America

A Heartwarming Celebration at Watercrest Spanish Springs

This holiday season, the residents and staff of Watercrest Spanish Springs Assisted Living and Memory Care in The Villages, Florida, came together to celebrate the spirit of giving. Their festive Festival of Wreaths was not just a seasonal gathering but a meaningful event aimed at supporting the esteemed organization, Wreaths Across America.

During the event, attendees enjoyed live music, delicious seasonal hors d'oeuvres, and a tempting array of sweet treats. Adding to the celebratory atmosphere were the beautifully decorated wreaths, available for auction, which adorned the halls of the community. Each wreath, crafted with care, was generously donated, and the proceeds from the auction were directed towards funding wreaths for veterans’ graves across the nation.

Honoring Our Heroes

Wreaths Across America is a revered non-profit organization committed to honoring fallen American service members by placing wreaths on their graves during the holiday season. This essential mission ensures that no veteran is forgotten, with over three million wreaths placed in 2024 alone, thanks to the efforts of more than four million volunteers, including many enthusiastic children.

Sheena Jeffries, Director of Resident and Family Experience at Watercrest, expressed her pride in engaging the residents in such a meaningful initiative. “We are honored to celebrate the holiday season with our residents while contributing to an organization dedicated to remembering, honoring, and educating about the sacrifices made by our military heroes,” said Jeffries.

The event not only emphasized the importance of community but also fostered emotional connections among neighbors, family members, and friends, making the holiday season even more special. Watercrest staff members genuinely embraced this sense of purpose, as they worked alongside residents to spread cheer and goodwill.
