Deck the Door!

The holidays can be a lonely time of year for those who receive home-based care. Throughout the year, caregivers provide companionship and support to those they serve, and this bond is especially important during the holiday season. To help spread cheer, PHA is hosting its second annual Door Decorating Contest! Last year over 30 agencies participated in PHA’s inaugural Door Decorating Contest and we’re hoping for even more this year! Agencies are encouraged to have your direct care workers decorate the front doors of their consumers. The winning agency will receive lunch in your office for up to 30 people and a gift card for your consumer! 

Entering the contest is as easy as 1-2-3.

  1. Decorate your consumer’s front door.
  2. Send a photo of the completed door to [email protected] by Dec. 13
  3. Enjoy making the holidays special for those you serve!

Agencies are encouraged to submit more than one door, the more the merrier this holiday season!
