The purpose of the event seems to be twofold. Not only does it seem to be a celebration of the support the company has received from the community over its new campus, but they are also supporting Toys for Tots this holiday season. Attendees are encouraged to bring a toy along that the company will deliver to the organization for them.
The full text of the invite is below:

The event is being held on December 14, 2019, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. It does also not appear to be an "open" house. The message that Kuo received stresses that "this invite is non-transferable and only admits one". It is unclear how many residents will receive the invite and if attendees will get a closer look at Apple Park than the currently used visitor's center.
