VCHS Donates to Make Christmas Happen

December 16, 2010

Valley County Health System donated nearly $1,693 from two fundraisers to Make Christmas Happen, a local project providing holiday assistance to families in Valley County.   

The annual Celebrate Being a Woman event raised $1,100 in funds from the raffle of items that were donated by departments and individual employees.  The funds were used to purchase gift certificates for meat to the Ord Grocery Kart, Speed's Apple Market and Hruby's Market in Arcadia.  Thirty dollar gift certificates were provided to large families and $10 certificates were provided to small families.

In addition, VCHS sponsored the Soup Supper on Dec. 9, held in conjunction with the Ord Area Chamber's Festival of Trees.  Funds raised from that event totaled $593.

Valley County Health System is pleased to contribute the funds from these two fundraisers to Make Christmas Happen.
