The “giving tree” is a holiday tradition for many businesses – with “ornaments” representing holiday wishes, fulfilled by employees (and sometimes customers too). The tree above is at Nucor Steel, which delivered the resulting presents to Providence Mount St. Vincent at midday today:

This year’s giving tree in the Nucor lobby resulted in more than 200 gifts!
How wonderful, I am sure the residents will enjoy these gifts so much! There are so many people in nursing homes that don’t have the basic essentials like clothing. Most people don’t realize that there are quite a few residents who live in hospital gowns because they have no clothes. (Not sure if this is an issue at Mount St. Vincent, but it was at Park West in North Admiral when my family member was there, and I know it’s an issue at other facilities as well.) If you’re able to give this season, I know most facilities will happily take donations of clothing for the residents who are without.
Sorry, comment time is over.
