Valley Baptist Employees Donate Gifts, Dinners For 32 Needy Families
HARLINGEN, December 20, 2006 – Valley Baptist Health System employees and
Valley Baptist Foundation Board Members have provided Christmas gifts and turkey dinners
to 32 needy Valley families. This generosity by our board members and employees from various
Valley Baptist departments, located in both the Harlingen and Brownsville Hospitals, is helping
to make the holidays brighter for 20 terminally-ill patients and their families served by
the Sandi Jo Funk Hospice Program, as well as for patients and families of Valley Baptist Home
Health. Employees’ and board members’ contributions included presents for children, gift cards,
and turkey dinners. Hospice and Home Health employees and volunteers delivered the gifts.
In addition to the generosity shown by VBHS employees, others in the
community contributed to the annual effort to make the holidays brighter
for terminally-ill
patients and needy families. For example, Frank Puente Jr., a local
roofer, donated the materials and labor to repair the roof on the home
of a needy Harlingen family.
