Pennybyrn is so blessed. Our team generously gave donations and service to families in need this Thanksgiving. We were able to donate an abundance of food, including whole turkeys and hams for a full Thanksgiving meal. We are overflowing with gratitude for the generosity and dedication our team has in honoring the mission of Pennybyrn “To give God‘s love to the lives we touch”.

A very special thank you to our Ambassador Team for supporting and putting in the work to carry out this amazing endeavor!

On Friday, a very successful week one of The Melvin and Ruth Witcher Adult Day Center at Pennybyrn came to a close. There was much joy and laughter as friendships were formed, new interests discovered, and we all learned some fun facts about October! Did you know that Pothus, October’s Plant of the Month, can grow as long as 65 feet? From chair volleyball and creating beautiful fall wreaths to crowning the first co****le champion of the week, all are excited to see what this week brings!

Pennybyrn's Pink Party!

We were blessed to have the Invision Diagnostics mobile mammogram unit visit Pennybyrn. There were 20 women on our team who received a mammogram today! We are so proud of their commitment to health and wellness, while also raising awareness for others. They are true winners in the fight against breast cancer. Many team members made this event possible, and we are so appreciative for their hard work and dedication. THANK YOU!

We are truly grateful to the High Point Enterprise for their beautiful coverage of yesterday’s farewell event, held for our Independent Living resdients, honoring our beloved Sisters at Pennybyrn. Jimmy Tomlin’s story, “Pennybyrn bids fond farewell to retiring sisters,” captured the emotion and history of the day beautifully.

Thank you, Jimmy, photographer Laura Green, and your entire team, for honoring the Sisters’ legacy with such care and sincerity. ❤️
