Visit nursing department’s giving tree to assist family

The nursing department has adopted another family for Christmas, and employees and students are welcome to help. The family includes a working father, a stay-at-home mom, two daughters (ages 5 and 7), and a baby on the way.

Nursing has set up a gift tree on the second floor of the Hoover Academic Building. On it are ornaments with a gift listed on each. To participate, take an ornament, purchase the gift, and give it (wrapped or unwrapped) to Elaine Smith (Nursing). All gifts must be turned in by Wednesday, Dec. 12, so they can be delivered Thursday, Dec. 13, to the family.

Nursing also is seeking a tree and decorations to donate to the family. If anyone is willing to donate these, contact us.

There is also a food bin located by the tree for nonperishable foods (canned, boxed, etc.) for the family. Money collected is going toward the purchase of a gift card so the family can purchase perishable foods (turkey, produce, etc.).

Questions? E-mail Dottie Massey or Megan Davidson.

This is for such a wonderful cause and we appreciate everyone’s help.

Thank you,

– The Nursing Department and The Nursing Association
