Help make the holidays special for a Kirkhaven resident by taking a tag from our gift-giving tree. Each tag represents a specific gift for one resident. Tags can be taken from the Gift Giving Tree located in the lobby or you can email abrauer@kirkhaven.com for virtual tags. Gift Giving Tree Gifts are due Dec. 16th.
