Brooksby Village staff volunteer at Citizens Inn

Employees at Brooksby Village have been volunteering their time at Citizens Inn​ making gingerbread houses with families for years

For the past three years, staff at Brooksby Village, an Erickson Living retirement community in Peabody, have been volunteering their time at Citizens Inn making gingerbread houses with families.

"It is something I really look forward to every year, said Gina Fernandez, Sales Manager, Brooksby Village. "The relationship between Brooksby Village and Citizens Inn started about four years ago when I was introduced to the Director through the local Chamber of Commerce. I volunteered to help at their annual gala and I have since become a member of the Board of Directors. As someone who grew up in Peabody and is still very connected to the city, this organization is dear to my heart. The work they do is so important for the families experiencing homelessness in our local communities. And both the kids and adults enjoy the activity every year!"

Brooksby Village is a vibrant Continuing Care Retirement Community developed and managed by Erickson Living. The scenic 90 acre campus is located in Peabody, MA and is home to more than 1700 residents.
