Ready for Another Great Year at Kirby Pines

We have concluded the year 2024 and I pray your holiday season was very special. I want to highlight a few Kirby Traditions from 2024 which will show the strong future for 2025.

Our Annual Coat Drive for 2024 showed, again, how generous everyone at Kirby Pines is. In 2023, we collected a total of 373 garments against a goal of 200! In 2024, we collected 374 garments!

On Monday, December 16th, our residents celebrated their annual Employee Holiday Appreciation Event. This event is solely dedicated to our wage earners who make $24.00 or less. In 2024, our residents graciously raised over $45,000.00. This was the most raised in over 7 years. This amount was also accomplished with a lower census. This clearly demonstrates “resident satisfaction.”

On Friday, December 20, 2024, we celebrated our annual Employee Longevity Awards Event. We celebrated 2 years (2022 & 2023.) We celebrated 38 recipients whose tenure ranged from 3 years to 40 years of service. We celebrate those who achieve 3 years of service then increments of 5 years. In 2024, we celebrated every increment from 5 – 25 years plus one individual who has over 40 years of service. To these very special individuals, we awarded a total of $40,389.82 in gifts.

So, with these snapshots in our 2024 album, you can assume these things:

1) We demonstrate our faith-based mission drive tenets as illustrated by our coat drive. 2) There is a strong degree of customer satisfaction. Our residents would not have given with such passion if they were not satisfied. 3) We have a truly dedicated, professional core staff. This allows us to continue to deliver at a consistent level, which helps set us apart from the competition. 

Now, ask me what my New year’s Resolution is for Kirby Pines??????

To have a bigger, better, more successful and more joyful year for all of Kirby Pines!
