Piecing Together Kindness: Gaithersburg Seniors Turn Puzzles into Purpose

.

At The Carnegie at Washingtonian Center, a Kisco Signature senior living community in Gaithersburg, Maryland, a quiet pastime has grown into a powerful act of generosity. What began as a relaxing activity around the community puzzle table has transformed into a creative fundraising effort with real impact. Residents recently held an auction featuring dozens of completed and beautifully framed puzzles. The event raised an impressive $3,600, all of which was donated to Fields Road Elementary School to support student supplies and enrichment programs.

As The Carnegie approaches its first anniversary, this initiative reflects the vibrant spirit of its residents—individuals who are not only staying active and connected but also committed to giving back. It’s a shining example of a group proving that giving back has no age limit.
