Paulding County Christmas for Kids received a generous donation from the Paulding County Hospital this week.
It all started with the housekeeping department. Jenny Albert, the lead housekeeper, and Nancy Hancock inquired about doing a collection for Christmas for Kids and decided instead of housekeeping buying gifts for their co-workers they would do a collection for the Paulding County families in need this Christmas. (Jenny is on the left with dark hair, and Cindy Raub is the other housekeeper).
Their generosity caught on and they started to receive donations from throughout the Hospital campus! They collected monetary donations, toys, and handmade hats. The hats were donated by the family of Nellie Retcher, who passed away in June. Nellie spent several years after her husband passed away making hats. She would crochet around 325 hats each year and take them herself to schools, churches, and homeless shelters to be given out.
Christmas for Kids is possible every year because of this kind of kindness, generosity, and help!
