Egbe Omo Yoruba of Greater Miami Valley recently completed its annual Christmas Cheers Community Engagement Giveaway as part of its commitment to giving back to the community during the holiday season.

Members of the organization visited Sycamore Spring Skilled Nursing and Rehabilitation in Miamisburg and Mary Scott Nursing Center in Dayton, where they distributed colorful blankets to residents. The effort was designed to provide warmth and comfort to seniors during the winter months.

Leaders of Egbe Omo Yoruba of Greater Miami Valley said the initiative reflects Yoruba cultural values that emphasize respect for elders, compassion, and collective responsibility. The organization noted that caring for elders is a fundamental part of maintaining strong families and communities.

Representatives also shared that the group plans to continue its outreach efforts and expand community engagement initiatives in 2026, focusing on service projects that uplift and support vulnerable populations across the Miami Valley.
