Florida Hospital Fish Memorial Employees Participate in Comfort Care Drive2/3/2010ORANGE CITY, FL—February 2, 2010 — Employees of Florida Hospital Fish Memorial donated much needed bedding items for the fifth annual Comfort Care Drive benefiting the Florida United Methodist Children’s Home. With 300 residents, the Comfort Care Drive provides bedding items for children, many of whom have never had their own set of sheets or pillow. Together, the staff donated 45 blankets and comforters, 38 sheet sets and six pillows.
Hospital staff delivered the donated items to Vice President of Development John Rivas and Public Relations Coordinator Miranda Levy, who accepted the items on behalf of the Florida United Methodist Children’s Home.
“We are grateful to Florida Hospital Fish Memorial for their gift of comforters, pillows and blankets for the children in our care. We value the partnership with Florida Hospital Fish Memorial and the role they play in assisting us make each child feel welcomed and loved by the Children’s Home,” said John Rivas, Vice President of Development at the Florida United Methodist Children’s Home. “Each and every child who comes into our care receives a welcome basket with items such as a stuffed animal, new bed linens, toiletries and a Bible that are theirs to keep. To have a new set of bed linens- that’s all their own, means so much to a child and is truly comforting to them in so many ways.”
