Parrish Healthcare Hosts Annual Gift of Gratitude Event, Donates Over 1,000 Holiday Meals to North Brevard Families

TITUSVILLE, FLA. (December 16, 2025)—Parrish Healthcare celebrated its annual Gift of Gratitude event, a cherished tradition honoring Care Partners (employees, physicians and volunteers) while extending support to families in need throughout North Brevard County.

Each year, all Care Partners are gifted a holiday ham or turkey and apple or pumpkin pie as a token of appreciation for their dedication and hard work. They are also given the option to donate their gift, transforming gratitude into generosity. Through this collective effort, Parrish Healthcare partners with local charities to ensure holiday meals reach families facing food insecurity.

Thanks to the overwhelming generosity of Care Partners within Parrish Healthcare, this year’s Gift of Gratitude event resulted in the donation of more than 1,000 hams, turkeys and pies to families across North Brevard.

This year’s charitable partners included North Brevard Charities & Thrift Store, LifePointe Ministries, Under the Bridge Ministries and First Baptist of Mims, all of whom play a vital role in serving individuals and families throughout North Brevard who may otherwise go without.

Individuals or families in need of a holiday meal this season are encouraged to contact North Brevard Charities & Thrift Store no later than tomorrow, November 17. Assistance requests can be made by calling 321-269-6555, extension 107.

“Our Care Partners truly embody the spirit of giving,” said George Mikitarian, President and CEO of Parrish Healthcare. “What began as a way to thank our family of Care Partners has grown into a meaningful opportunity to support our neighbors during the holiday season. We are incredibly proud of the compassion and generosity shown by our staff and grateful for our community partners who help make this possible.”

The Gift of Gratitude event reflects Parrish Healthcare’s ongoing commitment to community well-being and meaningful partnerships that make a lasting impact.
