A Look Back: Coming Together to Celebrate a Successful Year After working hard all year, it was time to let off some steam! On December 12, the entire Baltic Street Wellness Solutions team gathered together for a festive, all-day holiday party at our Isaac Brown Healing Arts & Community Center.

The day was all about camaraderie and of course, delicious food! Staff enjoyed an array of tasty breakfast items, and later, a generous luncheon spread comprised of fabulous food representing diverse cuisines, including classic Chinese and Jamaican dishes. A large band played an eclectic mix of jazz, hip-hop, and oldies, as many peers danced and sang along.

Festivities also included games and raffles with exciting prizes, such as an electric fireplace, a spa day for two, televisions, a PlayStation5 gaming console, crockpot, and other goodies.

Board members and community partners were also in attendance, as several team members were honored for outstanding achievements throughout 2024. RiseWell Community Services was recognized as Baltic Street’s “Outstanding Community Partner of the Year.” We look forward to our continued partnership with RiseWell in 2025!

Commenting on Baltic Street’s memorable celebration, Modupe Mujota, Co-Deputy Director of Programs and Regional Manager of the Adult Home Initiative, says, “It was very nice to be in the new space – it was the first time that many people had seen it. And it was wonderful to have everybody together, dancing to the great music, unwinding and letting their hair down!”
