AHEPA is an acronym for the American Hellenic Educational Progressive Association, an organization founded in 1922 which provides 95 apartment communities in 21 states.

Our chapter has been involved in Wilmington’s 50 unit community for low income seniors for many years. Residents look forward to their monthly bingo games, always with prizes, and ice cream delivered to each apartment. Holidays bring a special touch of caring with cookie boxes, poinsettias and individual cards. Our ukulele group will serenade residents with a holiday concert, followed by a pizza and ice cream party. We welcomed members of the choir from a local church for a holiday sing-along with eggnog and pumpkin bread.

A Southern Social held in spring brings residents to the dining room with a meal, sponsored and crafted by our members. 

Clothing from the Thrift Shop is offered quarterly, and residents are thrilled with the selection to update or add to their closets.

The greatest reward is seeing the smiles and hearing the laughter and thanks that each and every resident gives back to us.

Spring Arbor Assisted Living is located in Wilmington and can accommodate about 50 residents at its capacity.  They also have a memory care unit.  It is our pleasure to help enrich their lives through bingo games (with prizes!), various musical events and parties with music, games and gifts.  We also make handmade notecards for many of the holidays during the year.
