Calling all local kids and artists! The senior residents at First Colonial Inn, a Kisco Senior Living community in Virginia Beach, would love to see your art.

First Colonial is inspired by this employee driven-initiative. Jess Fedele, a dinning associate, came up with the idea. She's calling it the "Love Art Hope Project." The goal is to brighten the day of senior residents at the community as they continue to practice social distancing. Kids of all ages can get creative with their messages of love and hope as we all deal with the uncertainty surrounding COVID-19. 

"Simple gestures like this make me so proud of my team and how we continue to step-up during a time of crisis. The way our team is coming up with new and creative resident-focused ideas literally makes me cry happy tears. Jess joined our team just a few months ago and has stepped up to help without anyone asking," said Christina Driscoll, executive director First Colonial Inn. "As we go into our 30th year serving Virginia Beach, I couldn't be prouder of associates like Jess. She's expressed how fortunate she is to still have a job and simply wants to give back."
