Christmas morning will be a little brighter for those experiencing homelessness in Norristown thanks to our wonderful staff, volunteers, and donors. On December 25th, the Center will open its doors to serve a hot, balanced breakfast prepared by their talented cook, Eric Davenport.
“Holidays can be a particularly difficult time for people facing homelessness,” says Amalthea Leland, Peer Specialist at the Norristown Hospitality Center. “Many places are closed, and feelings of isolation and loneliness can be amplified. We want to provide a warm and welcoming environment where everyone feels valued and cared for on Christmas Day.”
In addition to a delicious breakfast, each guest will receive a special gift prepared by the Delta Kappa Gamma Society – Beta Pi Chapter. For the past 12 years, this dedicated group has been generously collecting and assembling gifts for those the Center serves. Each thoughtfully prepared drawstring backpack will contain snacks, hand warmers, a winter hat, socks, gloves, a scarf, and tissues – essential items to help individuals stay warm and comfortable during the cold winter months.
“We are incredibly grateful to the Delta Kappa Gamma Society for their continued support and for making the holidays a little brighter for our guests,” says Matt Kirsch, Development Coordinator. “Their kindness and generosity truly embody the spirit of Christmas.”
The Norristown Hospitality Center’s Christmas breakfast and gift distribution is a testament to the community’s commitment to caring for its most vulnerable members. By providing a warm meal, essential items, and a sense of belonging, the Center is ensuring that everyone can experience the joy of the holiday season.
