1,300 Nursing Home Residents In Valley Receive Christmas
Gifts From Valley Baptist Employees
"Seniors' Santa" Program brings cheer to many nursing home residents who have no family in area
HARLINGEN - About 1,300 nursing home residents throughout Cameron and Willacy counties received holiday gifts and smiles from Valley Baptist Medical Center employees this Christmas Eve as part of Valley Baptist’s “Seniors’ Santa” program.
This is the 4th year that Valley Baptist employ-ees visited the nursing home residents – some of whom have no family in the area and who otherwise wouldn’t receive a single gift. Residents beamed with delight and surprise as the Valley Baptist employees --with help from their family members, including several children -- made sure the residents were not forgotten at Christmas time.
Each nursing home resident received a wrapped gift blanket which was delivered along with a Christ-mas card signed by a Valley Baptist employee (or another person) who donated $5 to purchase the resident’s gift.
“The nursing home residents are so excited to be visited and to receive a gift,” said Becky Stirzaker, Human Resources Director for Valley Baptist-Har-lingen, who helps deliver gifts on Christmas Eve.
The level of Valley Baptist employees’ involve-ment in Seniors’ Santa has kept “spiraling” and exceeded all expectations, with hundreds of em-ployees at Valley Baptist-Brownsville and Valley Baptist-Harlingen generously contributing gifts and raising a total of more than $6,400.
Nearly 40 Valley Baptist employees and other vol-unteers helped with gift wrapping for the “Seniors’ Santa” program, and many more – including children of several employees -- helped with distributing presents at the nursing homes.
The “Seniors’ Santa” project is spearheaded by the Valley Baptist Ambassadors of Service, a group of employees who assist with special events at the Harlingen and Brownsville hospitals, with assistance from the Valley Baptist Auxiliary volunteers. For more information, visit www.ValleyBaptist.net.
