The culinary team at VSB went out of their way this year to make the residents feel the spirit of the holiday season. This time of year can be difficult for residents away from their families so we had our host, Demario Crosby, give away free hugs and "kisses" while greeting and seating residents for dinner. The residents loved the idea and one in particular was almost brought to tears saying, "I have not had a hug in a long time". The energy felt different that night and many mores smiles were seen in the dining room.
