NECC’s Teen Team sends heartfelt wreaths to seniors over the border

MILLERTON — Seizing the opportunity to make a connection that had just as much heart as it did art, members of the North East Community Center’s (NECC) Teen Team in Millerton gathered via Zoom on Thursday, Feb. 4, to make Valentine wreaths for the residents at Noble Horizons in nearby Salisbury, Conn. 

After receiving the art packets from the NECC, the Teen Team students set to work in creating the beautiful handmade wreaths. 

Thanking Noble Horizons Director of Community Relations Caroline Kenny-Burchfield for her help in coordinating the activity, the Teen Team staff organized a contactless pick-up of the finished wreaths from each student and made sure to deliver the wreaths to Noble Horizons before Valentine’s Day on Saturday, Feb. 14, brightening residents’ spirits with happy homemade hearts.
