80 Families Reached With Our Annual Holiday Food Box Project

Thanks to the generosity of the Service League of Greenville members, our annual Holiday Food Box Project was a huge success.  Working closely with Mr Randy Stroud, the General Manager of Piggly Wiggly on Dickinson Avenue, we were able to purchase and donate 80 Holiday Food Boxes.  (Possibly, our best year yet!)  Mr. Stroud even added a can of cranberry sauce to each box at no cost.

Hope of Glories Ministries and the Salvation Army each delivered 40 boxes to in-need families in their community.  Cards were placed in the boxes with holiday wishes from the Service League of Greenville.

During November’s National Home Care and Hospice month celebrations, Dr. Tae Lee, director of Vidant Home, Health, Hospice and Palliative Care, and Theresa Warren, Service League member and hospice volunteer, were interviewed on WITN about the importance of Home Care and Hospice and the wonderful rewards of volunteering with hospice — as many of our Service League volunteers know first hand!
