💚❤️ The FSW Women's Committee distributed 750 holiday cards to residents of two nursing homes to spread joy this holiday season. The project was organized by Women's Committee member Linda Buff, an Eligibility Evaluator in the Daycare Unit. FSW members and co-workers collected holiday cards throughout the St Paul St and Westfall Rd buildings and then signed each and every one of them with love. FSW Women's Committee Chair, and Linda delivered 350 holiday cards to St. John's on Monday, and 400 more were delivered to Monroe Community Hospital on Tuesday. Linda was inspired to lead this project as her mother was a resident of St. John's earlier this year and she wanted to give back to the community that cared for her mother.
