Hospital and Clinics sponsor Angel Tree For the 24th year, St. Mary’s Hospital and Clinics will sponsor the Christmas “Angel Tree” which helps match generous donors with those in need of gifts for children and food for families. Individuals in need are encouraged to call Jessica Stewart, Kristi Holthaus, or Brianne Thomason, project coordinators, at 208-962-3251. They will confidentially record the child’s name, age, gender, clothing sizes and gift requests. All requests must be made by December 1st. This year, due to Covid 19, we are asking for monetary donations to go towards the purchase of gifts for the children. While we have greatly appreciated individuals shopping for the kids over the years we are trying to limit exposure so everyone can have a safe holiday. Individuals interested in fulfilling a wish are asked to contact one of the coordinators at St. Mary’s Hospital or mail your donation to the address listed below. All requested gifts and food baskets will be distributed on Thursday, December 17th from 5:30 – 7:00 p.m. at 423 Main Street, Cottonwood (the old Harman Agency office) next to Schlader Photography. In conjunction with the Cottonwood Food Bank, SMH volunteers prepare food boxes for “Angel Tree” families as well as elderly residents in the community. Requests for food boxes should be directed to Donna Quick at 208-962-3251. The holidays can be difficult when there are financial strains and we want to do our part in easing those burdens through the Angel Tree. Our community has always been very generous and we appreciate the opportunity to facilitate happier holidays for our neighbors. Those willing to help can send a financial contribution to “Angel Tree Project,” c/o St. Mary’s Hospital, PO Box 137, Cottonwood, ID 83522.
