On December 19th, Tradition Mutual staff member Stephanie MacDonald and Strong Roots staff member Kimberly Good presented Spruce Lodge with a collective donation of $5, 000. This donation will be used towards items and instruments needed to run the Spruce Lodge Music Therapy Program. We are so happy to support such a great program!

 

Spruce Lodge Music Therapy offers hope and comfort to the residents of Spruce Lodge through interactive, personalized music therapy. I saw firsthand how the therapy program brightened the days of the residents when I worked at Spruce Lodge and that’s why I chose to give back to this amazing program this holiday season. – Kimberly Good 

During my time as a PSW at Woodland Towers, it was truly special to hear the residents share cherished memories associated with music. The sense of calm and joy that music brings, reflected in their expressions, is incredibly heartwarming. I am excited to see the impact of the Music Therapy program in the upcoming year and look forward to the positive experiences it will continue to create. – Stephanie MacDonald
