PRESENTS FOR PATIENTS CAMPAIGN

It’s hard to believe that it’s that time of year when we start planning for the holiday season. This can also be one of the loneliest times of the year for many of our residents who no longer have family orfriends to visit them, especially during the holiday season.

This year, the Bethlen Home Activity Department will be joining in on this worthwhile project once again with St. Barnabas Charitable Foundation and WPXITV Channel 11 and news anchors David Johnson and Peggy Finnegan.

Last year, over 63,000 gifts were purchased and distributed for nursing home residents in Long Term Care Facilities over the Tri State Area.

Won’t you help make our residents’ Christmas seem a little brighter?

All you have to do is fill out the coupon below an return to the Bethlen Home Activity Department, resident then will be assigned to you and a wish will be sent to you with a listing of what that patie would like for Christmas. You then will be responsibl

for purchasing the gift and, if possible, visit the resident with your gift during the holiday season.

If you would like to sign up for this program, but are unable to purchase the gift due to being out of town,

D

etc., we would be most happy to have our volunteers do the shopping for you. Just send your cash donation along with your coupon. Your gift will be purchased and given to the resident assigned to you on Christmas Day, along with a gift tag enclosed of who the donor was. mJp

The gift donation can range from a $2.00 item such as a pair of socks, kleenex, etc. to a larger item such as a sweater. It is totally up to you what amount you decide to donate for a gift.

Anyone having any questions may contact Sherry umbertson at 412-238-6711, Monday through Friay, from 9 a.nr| to 5 p.m. |

hank you for your support of this worthwhile project, and for making our residents’ holiday a little brighter!
