A community of Caring
Dear
Colleagues,
Inherent in our
mission, vision, and values is a commitment to serving our community. As part
of this commitment, we are dedicating each summer month to a different
community organization in our area that we will support. This month (June) is Sister Carmen, and I encourage each of you
to participate if you are able. There will be
collection bins (either a large barrel or a box) placed at Trailridge, TRU
Tele-Care, TRU PACE, TRU Thrift, and TRU Hospice Care Center. Please consider
helping us fill the bins!
Our goal is to help keep Sister Carmen's shelves stocked for
everyone in our community. Here are some items they need the most:
