Residents Shine with Toys for Tots Campaign
At AHEPA Senior Living, we strive to be pillars of our communities,
inspired by the ethos of our Greek American founders of
civic responsibility, humanitarianism, and philanthropy. Led by
the desire to leave our communities better than we found them,
we hope our team of professionals embodies these Hellenic ideals
and that these ideals carry over to residents. This personification
of ideals is what we saw this holiday season at several of
our communities.
In Daytona Beach, Florida, at AHEPA 410 Senior Apartments
community, residents asked the management team about
donating toys to children through a Toys for Tots drive hosted by
the Daytona Beach Fire Department. While the request seemed
normal to Julie Carpenter, the AHEPA 410 Senior Apartments
property manager, the participation caught her a bit by surprise.
simply the desire to care
for others ties these two
concepts together. Either
way, we commend the residents
in Daytona Beach and
Houston who took it upon
themselves to help make
the holidays brighter for
the underserved children
in their communities.

Spreading Holiday Cheer at ASL Communities
Toys for Tots collection by Daytona Beach residents of AHEPA 410
Apartments.
" We collected 64 new unwrapped toys that we dropped off
to the Daytona Beach Fire Department, " said Carpenter. " Many
of our residents were eager to participate. For them, the thought
of putting smiles on children's faces was very gratifying. Several
took pictures of the gifts under the tree to share with their loved
ones. "
We also saw a similar toy drive carried out by residents at
Penelope 54 Senior Apartments in Houston for a collection organized
by the Houston Police Department.
However, the exciting part of the story is how these holiday
toy drives that link generations seem to reflect a growing
trend in the United States-a rise in intergenerational outreach
and housing. Perhaps the alignment of the " holiday spirit " or

Lots of holiday cheer and smiles to go around for our Saraland,
Alabama, residents at AHEPA 310-IV Apartments thanks to the
