This holiday season, we’re inviting our extended Villa family, friends, and community supporters to help us make Christmas a little brighter for the wonderful residents we serve!

Whether you choose one item from our list or organize a collection with your family, workplace, or community group, every gift makes a difference.

As the Sisters of Charity of St. Augustine celebrate 175 years of serving others, we’re honored to share stories from those whose lives have been touched by their mission. For Jennifer Grogan, assistant dietary director at Light of Hearts Villa, working alongside the Sisters has been a powerful reminder of what it means to lead with compassion, serve with humility, and care for others with unwavering grace.
