Lions Club Collection

The Value Support Team is sponsoring a collection of eye glasses and hearing aids to support the Lions Club. The Lions Club turned in approximately 800 pairs of glasses last month alone. The glasses are sorted by prescription and then distributed internationally to those who cannot afford and/or who do not have access to but who are in need of eyewear.  So please donate to help this wonderful organization within our community help others around the world.

 

There will be bins at the following locations for easy drop off:

 

1)FHN Memorial Hospital Staff Entrance

2)Burchard Hills

3)Family Counseling Center

4)Highland View Drive

 

Off-site locations may send their supplies to Human Resources via FHN Messenger Services/Courier.

 

If you donate items and/or make a monetary donation you will then be able to wear your “JEANS” to work on Denim Day Friday, October 28^th. Stickers must be worn on Denim Day with your jeans. You may pick up your sticker at the drop off location based on the honor system. If you are located at an off-site location, contact Human Resources for your sticker.

 

Thanks for your support!

The Value Support Team
