Dear Volunteers,
Thank you for the tangible ways that you give back to this community by volunteering with us here at Riverside.
You have had such a positive impact on our patients, their families, and our staff this past year.
We are so blessed that you choose to spend your time doing something so purposeful.
In its 18th year, the Santa’s Sleigh project at Riverside provides Christmas gifts for area families in need. What started with 12 families has now grown to 52 families.
“It’s a way we can give back to the community,” said Riverside Community Liaison Nancy Moore, who oversees this project every year.
The PCD department has Christmas presents wrapped under the tree with a bear, coloring pages and crayons to give to the kids that check in. They are setting the gift on the carts prior to check in for the kids. One of the nurses, Stephanie Bishop, thought of the idea and brought it to life.
Pledge forms are available to participate in the campaign for United Way of Kankakee & Iroquois Counties. Please return completed forms to Nancy Moore at nmoore@rhc.net and she will submit them (a new form needs to be completed each year). There will be a raffle drawing on 11/22 and 11/27 for United Way shirts and sweatshirts for those who have already turned in their forms. Nancy will contact the winners.
