A Season of Generosity: Thank You to Our Holiday Donors
This past holiday season, Transitions Healthcare Gettysburg was overwhelmed (in the very best way) by the generosity, kindness, and community spirit shown by so many local partners and friends. Simply put, there are no words that can fully express our gratitude for the outpouring of support we received on behalf of both our facility and, most importantly, our residents and their families.
Because of our donors, the holiday season was brighter, warmer, and filled with meaningful moments that extended far beyond decorations and gifts. The generosity we received allowed us to provide residents with both essential personal items and special extras that enrich daily life, promote comfort, and enhance engagement in activities throughout the year.
We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to the following community partners who so generously supported our holiday initiatives:
- Amblebrook Community – for their generous monetary donation, which directly supported resident activities and quality-of-life enhancements
- Biglerville High School Art Class
- Home Instead
- Jacoby Transportation
- Notre Dame Club – for a meaningful financial contribution in support of our residents
- The Eastern Star – for their generous monetary support
- Celebrate Gettysburg, led by Jessica Dean
- St. Francis Xavier Church
- ABATE Mason-Dixon Chapter
- Biglerville American Legion
- Emmitsburg VFW, with special thanks to Shannon for coordinating support
- Gettysburg VFW Auxiliary, with the support of Michelle Williams
When we reached out to share some of our most basic needs, many in our community responded with a simple but powerful message: “You really need to think bigger.” And they meant it!
We would especially like to recognize the ABATE Mason-Dixon Chapter for their extraordinarily generous donation of two smart televisions. These gifts will have a lasting impact, allowing our residents to stay digitally connected, expand their entertainment options, and enjoy shared experiences that foster socialization and joy.

We also want to extend special appreciation to Jessica Dean of Celebrate Gettysburg, whose consistent annual support continues to make a meaningful difference at our facility. Jessica’s impact goes far beyond fundraising. Through her exceptional networking and advocacy, she helps raise awareness of our holiday campaigns and encourages others throughout the community to join in the spirit of giving. Her dedication truly amplifies the reach and success of our efforts.
For those who have inquired about additional ways to give, monetary donations remain an impactful option when coordinated with our Gettysburg staff. These funds can be thoughtfully earmarked to support resident activities, entertainment, and quality-of-life enhancements that bring joy and enrichment well beyond the holiday season.
To every individual, group, and organization who supported Transitions Healthcare Gettysburg this year: thank you for believing in our residents, investing in their happiness, and reminding us what community truly means. Your generosity does not fade with the season; it continues to touch lives every single day.
From all of us at Transitions Healthcare Gettysburg, we extend our deepest thanks and warmest wishes for the year ahead.
