Lights, camera, action! 🎬 Movie time was a hit! Our residents enjoyed a fun, thrilling throw-back to the classic The 39 Steps. Between the laughter, great snacks, and delicious juices, it was a wonderful time spent together. 🎬🍿 ✨

A heartfelt thank you to the South Mountain Community College Storytelling Institute for coming out and sharing your wonderful stories with the residents of Westward Ho! ❤️
Our residents had the chance to listen to some powerful and inspiring stories, enjoy a delicious Taco Thursday dinner and spend some time connecting and talking with the storytellers and one another.
It was an amazing evening filled with great food, meaningful conversations, lots of laughter and many memorable moments. Seeing residents full and excited for what’s to come is exciting. We are so grateful to everyone who came and helped make it special and we look forward to many more wonderful events coming up soon! 🌮📖✨

A huge and heartfelt thank you to Penzeys Spices for their amazingly generous donation of “Official Rainbow Spices” to our Westward Ho location! 🌈maroon ♥️

Our food cart is open Wednesday–Friday, and these essential seasonings will go a long way in helping us provide our residents with flavorful meals and ingredients they can enjoy at home. We’re especially excited that residents can use the spices with items from the food cart to make simple, delicious and easy-to-follow recipes right in their own kitchens. From adding extra flavor to vegetables and rice to creating tasty meals with pantry staples, these spices can help turn everyday ingredients into something special!🍽️✨

We are so grateful for Penzeys Spices and their continued support of our residents and our community. Thank you for helping us make mealtime a little more flavorful! ♥️💛

Great article, Savannah! Thank you!
