![]() Dear friends, I have been approached by Hunterdon Medical Center for help with a problem they have identified. Many of the staff have noticed that several patients, from toddlers to adults, are being released from the hospital without adequate winter clothing. To help ease this situation, HMC would greatly appreciate donations of NEW hats and gloves for all ages, except babies. Many groups already provide headwear for babies, but there is a considerable demand for winter items for children and adults. They were very grateful for the parcels we donated last summer for homeless patients and have asked if CHS could again help with this project. They also will provide us with plastic bags to store each item. As an additional consideration, they mentioned that sweatshirts also would be a tremendous help. However, realizing this is a significantly bigger donation than hats or gloves, they asked me to simply mention it with the idea that some parishioners may be interested in donating the sweatshirts (again, all sizes for children small up to and including adult Xlarge). Please note that we are not collecting scarves or mufflers. I am hopeful that you will join me in providing these winter clothing items for HMS, a facility that serves people from many communities in Hunterdon County. Bins will be placed in the Narthex for your contributions. Thank you for your help and support. Suzanne Higgins [email protected] Comments are closed.
