To help spread Christmas
cheer, Heartland Independent Living Center (HILC) staff selected six consumers
to receive a gift basket for the holidays. The cartful of goodies included a
turkey and all the fixings for Christmas dinner, plus supplies to store the
leftovers and put the house back in order after the holiday festivities.
HILC staff filled six
shopping carts with food and household items, packed each of the baskets, and
delivered the Christmas gifts to consumers in Belle, Bland, Linn, Owensville,
St. Clair, and Vienna.
Upon seeing the consumers’
reactions to the gifts, Heartland staff members experienced the true meaning of
the old phrase, “It’s more blessed to give than to receive.”
All of us at Heartland
Independent Living Center wish all our consumers a wonderful holiday - - and a
prosperous new year filled with hope.
