The Touchpoints at Chestnut team leveraged their lobby Christmas decorations into a nice donation to the Five Cupboard Food Pantry in East Windsor.  The final donation of non-perishable food, toiletries and other supplies for those in need weighed in at 340 pounds.  The team was also able to donate six hams thanks to a Candy Tree Raffle. Congratulations to the TAC team on a creative way to give back during the holidays and for the beautiful display it created for residents and guests. 

Touchpoints at Manchester’s Joanie Gallichant has been an LPN at the care center for 38 years and her passion lies in caring for the residents of the long term care unit. She not only provides excellent care she also is always finding ways to bring joy to the residents and so for the last five years she has made a visit to the center as Mrs. Claus.

Breakfast was served and money was raised for a good cause. All proceeds went to local Families affected by Parental Substance Use Disorder.
