LEXINGTON, Ky. — December 2, 2025 — Morning Pointe Senior Living is inviting the community to join in a campus-wide season of giving during its “12 Days of Giving for Our Seniors” celebration, beginning December 14 at the Morning Pointe Lexington Assisted Living and Lexington Lantern Memory Care campus in Lexington, Kentucky.
This festive initiative is designed to bring joy, comfort, and connection to residents during the final days leading up to Christmas. From December 14 through December 25, each day will feature a special themed experience focused on kindness, warmth, and holiday cheer.
Morning Pointe is seeking participation from local vendors, families, churches, businesses, and community partners who would like to sponsor or donate items for one or more of the 12 themed days. Contributions may include small gifts, activity materials, treats, decorations, or volunteer time. The collective goal is to help make this holiday season meaningful and memorable for every resident across both buildings.
“Our residents look forward to even more special holiday experiences that lift their spirits and remind them how valued they are,” said Dawn Pittman, Lantern Program Director at Morning Pointe Lexington Lantern. “Every act of generosity, no matter how small, makes a difference in the life of a resident. The 12 Days of Giving is a beautiful reminder that our seniors are surrounded by people who care, both inside and outside our walls.”
