Our 4th annual Christmas party at the Chicago Ridge Nursing and Rehab Center took place today!
In years past, we used to collect pajamas, robes, slippers and bath products to give each resident.
I wanted to do a little something different this time around.
So I came up with the idea to fill stockings with little treasures - word searches, colored pencils, decks of cards, toiletries, candies, and so on.
I then turned to our faithful friends at Marquette Bank, and they made 150 stockings!
We also had Girl Scout Unit 615 join in with the help of their families and make an additional 50!
All 193 residents received a stocking filled with love and Christmas cheer today, and we were able to leave a few extra for anyone who happens to come in over the next few weeks.
This was such a great project, and we plan on involving everyone who wants to participate next year, and even take on an additional nursing home or two!
