Gift of Giving campaign under way at MedWest-Harris

12/14/2011

MedWest-Harris staff members are helping support two local organizations that are working to make the holidays brighter for some of Jackson County’s at-risk community members. Staff purchased new gift items including clothing, toys, toiletries and personal items, candy and fruit, and essential household items, and donated them to the Jackson County Christmas Store, which assists local families with Christmas gifts for their children, and to the Jackson County Department on Aging, which provides Operation Christmas Box for the homebound elderly. Pictured with the MedWest-Harris donations are, front from left, Eekie Rish, Rita Cruzan, Dedra Vinson, Amy Ward, and back from left, Jacky Bradley, Whitney Gantt, Mary Souto and Jill Thompson. The MedWest-Harris efforts are part of MedWest Health System’s Gift of Giving campaign encouraging employees to give back to their communities during the holiday season.
