Caring Hearts disband
Submitted by PATRICIA STRENG
Caring Hearts was organized October 2008 to serve the residents of nursing homes, the disabled and needy in our community. Margaret Emmons was elected director and served until her retirement in October 2009. Under Margaret’s dedicated leadership, Caring Hearts grew and provided Christmas stockings for the Santa Run, the Shepherd of the Hills (SOTH) Christmas Foster Children Gift Give Away plus stockings and nap pads for several area schools; walker, wheel chair and medical bags to Wyndridge and several doctors’ offices. Wyndridge also received bibs, shawls and blankets.
Since Margaret retired, we have not had the dedicated leadership needed so the volunteers voted to dissolve the organization and distribute money to area organizations. We’ve given checks to SACS, SOTH Program, FFG Volunteer Fire Department and MARA. It has been our privilege to serve the community and we want to thank everyone for the donations of their time, talents and resources. We pray for God’s continued blessings on all of you.
