Destiny Center

January at Destiny Center was one of those “small moments, big impact” kind of months. 💛

First, a quick real-life update: this past week’s ice kept us off the roads, so we weren’t able to deliver like we normally do. Safety first, always. But we’re already looking forward to getting back to our seniors and bringing those familiar smiles (and lunches) right back to their doors.

Here are a few January highlights I don’t want you to miss:

📚 Did you know we have an author among our seniors?
Mr. Foster wrote a book. Our seniors are full of stories, talent, and wisdom… and we get the honor of showing up for them.

🙂 Did you know the smiling faces in these photos are our volunteers?
-These are the folks who make Destiny Delivers happen week after week. They’re the hands and hearts serving seniors right here in DeSoto County, and we’re incredibly grateful for their faithfulness and dedication.

🎂 We celebrated volunteer birthdays, too!
-Shoutout to Joanna and April . . . thank you for giving your time and treasure to serve others. You’re the kind of people who make a community feel like home.

🙏 We stepped into 2026 with vision and prayer
-As we transitioned into the new year, we met with our Interim Director, Ivory Hassell, to discuss and pray over Destiny Delivers.

We’re working to add more seniors to our delivery list and enhance overall wellbeing in real, practical ways. Big plans. Big heart. Volunteer-powered.

Now here’s where you come in (because this mission grows one yes at a time):

A huge THANK YOU to Olive Twigs Philanthropic for their incredibly generous donation to Destiny Center 🎉💐. The check was presented by Lisa Britt, and we are so thankful for their continued belief in serving our community in meaningful ways 🙌.

Another big shoutout goes to Crye-Leike Olive Branch 🏡❤️. This gift came from the agents in the office in honor of their broker, Vicki Blackwell . . . what a beautiful way to honor leadership, generosity, and a heart for giving 👏✨. When a group comes together like this, good things happen.

To other local businesses, offices, churches, and philanthropic groups 👀💡—as you think about year-end giving (and honestly, giving all year long 😉), we would be honored for you to consider Destiny Center 🤍. Your support helps us keep showing up where the needs are.
