PRESENTS FOR PATIENTS CAMPAIGN Believe it or not it's time for the Activity Department to start preparing for the Holiday Season. One of the most favorite and celebrated times is Christmas. This season can also bring sadness to anyone living in a long term care facility, especially if they no longer have any family or are unable to be home with their loved ones on Christmas Day. The Bethlen Home Activity Department has once again joined St. Barnabas Charitable Foundation and WPXI TV Channel 11 news on this worthwhile project. Last year, over 75,000 gifts were purchased and distributed to nursing home residents in Long Term Care Facilities over the Tri State area. Won't you help to make one of our Resident's Christmas seem a little brighter and less lonely? All you have to do is fill out the coupon below and return it to the Bethlen Home Activity Department. You will then be assigned a Resident and sent a Wish List with gift suggestions from that particular Resident on what he/ she would like for Christmas. You will be responsible for purchasing the gift and, if possible, delivering the gift to your Resident 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, 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 your assigned Resident on Christmas Day, along with a gift tag enclosed telling who the donor was. The gift donation amount is totally up to you. It can range from $2.00 for a pair of socks, to a larger item such as a sweater or men's razor. It is totally up to you what amount you decide to donate for a gift. Anyone having any questions may contact Sherry Humbertson at 412-238-6711, Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Thank you for your support toward this worthwhile project, and for making our Residents' holiday a little brighter!!!!!!!
