Crafted With Love at NRC
NRC resident Lila Esse loves to knit warm winter hats. With a knitting hobby that spans more than five decades, there are hundreds of people across the globe who have been blessed with the warmth of a “Lila hat”.
This Christmas, Lila donated 10 of her lovely hats to elementary school students in need who take part in programming at nearby Greenvale Park Community School. The hats will be distributed alongside warm, colorful fleece blankets made by NRC residents – both pieces crafted in love for NRC’s neighbors in need.
Even better, the depth of NRC’s partnership with these students doesn’t end there. During the fall and spring, students will walk to NRC after school to spend time with residents. Since many of the students don’t live near their own grandparents, they look forward to spending time with their NRC grandmas and grandpas.
NRC Director of Activities Milosha Malecha says, “Partnerships like this are very important at NRC. They ensure a vibrant community life that deepens residents’ connections to people outside of the NRC campus. We’re thrilled to encourage intergenerational relationships with our friends at Greenvale Park Community School.”
When you give to NRC, you support intentional programming such as this. Together, we’ll ensure we continue to meet residents’ spiritual, physical and emotional needs in a caring environment that supports independence, dignity and quality of life.
Your support makes a remarkable difference. Thank you for your generosity.
