Colleagues adopt 28 children for Christmas

HSHS St. Francis Hospital colleagues adopted 14 local families to donate gifts to this holiday season. St. Clare Food Pantry assisted the hospital’s mission team to identify items each family needed. Twenty-eight children received Christmas gifts this year as part of the hospital’s Angel Tree program. The children were all from local families needing assistance. Those shown with a portion of the donated gifts include Dawn Stoecker, John Irwin, Mary Meyer, Deanna Ellis, Kathy Hagen and Parrish McPheeters.
