Community Spotlight: Kaylynn Fields Unites Gary, Indiana Through Holiday Giving

In Gary, Indiana, acts of kindness aren’t just traditions — they’re the heartbeat of the city. And at the center of this year’s holiday season stands Kaylynn Fields, a woman dedicated to making sure no family feels overlooked during a time meant for connection and care.

Through her work with Healing Companions Group Home Care LLC, Kaylynn has continued to bring local businesses, creators, and community partners together with one mission: give back however you can. Her vision is simple — when people contribute what they have, whether big or small, it creates something powerful for the whole city.

This year’s event was a true example of that unity.

Kelly’s Soul Kitchen of Gary stepped in to provide turkeys, helping families prepare their own holiday meals at home. Sound Addicts kept the energy high with music that brought warmth to a cold day, and Playhouse Party Co transformed the setting with décor that made the event feel festive, joyful, and full of community pride.

But the real story is Kaylynn’s heart.

She is driven by the belief that compassion grows when people stand together — businesses helping families, families helping neighbors, and neighbors lifting each other up. Her leadership shows that giving isn’t about what you have, but how willing you are to share it.

Kaylynn’s commitment to Gary runs deeper than one event. She continues to call on organizations, creators, and local partners to join her in creating opportunities for families to feel supported, fed, and seen — especially during the holidays. Every year, she finds new ways to connect people who want to help with people who need help, building a cycle of giving that strengthens the entire community.

This year, Gary felt that love.

And with Kaylynn Fields at the helm, the movement is only growing stronger.

Thank you to Kaylynn Fields, Healing Companions Group Home Care LLC, Kelly’s Soul Kitchen, Sound Addicts, Playhouse Party Co, and the beautiful city of Gary for showing what true holiday spirit looks like — generosity, unity, and love in action.
