Celebrating Lunar New Year!

Posted on by

Recently, our staff came together to celebrate Lunar New Year, a time of renewal, reflection, and connection. We enjoyed each other’s company, trivia, traditional foods, and learned about our Chinese Zodiac signs, deepening our appreciation for this rich cultural tradition.

A highlight of the event was exchanging red envelopes (Hongbao), symbolizing good fortune, prosperity, and shared joy—values that align with our mission of empowerment and independent living.

Celebrating traditions like Lunar New Year strengthens our community by fostering understanding, appreciation, and unity. Wishing everyone happiness, success, and good fortune in the Year of the Snake!
