Families Make Holidays Brighter for Residents at Kittay House

UJA-Federation of New York's Westchester Community made the holidays brighter for the residents of Kittay House, an independent senior living facility in the Bronx run by Jewish Home Lifecare, a UJA-Federation beneficiary agency. More than 150 volunteers and residents played Bingo, did craft projects, and celebrated with donuts and cider. The event was part of The Gift of Chanukah, where UJA-Federation’s Westchester communities share the season’s spirit at parties with clients at a number of its beneficiary agencies. Jill Goldfein of New Rochelle, Robye Margolius of White Plains, and Gail Rauner of White Plains served as event chairs for the Kittay House event.
