News : It starts with a gift, but it is so much more!

Virginia Gay Hospital Home Health Agency is pleased to resume the annual “Angel Tree” for their clients this year.

Virginia Gay Hospital Home Health Agency is pleased to resume the annual "Angel Tree" for their clients this year. We are excited to help our clients have a joyful Christmas! Many of our clients, who all live in Benton County are low income, lack the support of close family/friends, and have unfulfilled needs. Here is how you can help make a difference:

In Person: Our "Angel Tree" is located at Virginia Gay Hospital on the main floor, behind the front registration desk, near the elevator. Tags will be on the tree by 11/16/22 and requests to return wrapped/unwrapped gifts by 12/14/22 to the VGH lobby desk.

1. Select a tag from the tree.

2. Buy new gifts for the angel you selected. Sorry we are unable to accept used items in any condition. We encourage you to purchase the items listed on the tag.

3. Please make sure your (wrapped or unwrapped) gifts for the same angel are securely tied together or placed together in a bag. Securely attach the tag to the gift so we can make sure the right gifts get to the right angel.

4. Please return gifts to VGH lobby front desk by 12/14/22.

5. Virginia Gay Hospital Home Health staff will deliver the gifts to your angel by Christmas.

Please try your best to get the gift ideas listed on the tag --those are the items that they need the most. However, if you would like to add a few more things here are some suggestions: Large print books or magazines, slippers, socks, shoes, pillow, blanket, sheets, bath robe, pajamas, bath products, board game, belt, suspenders, sweats, shirts, calendar, and candy. Please no gift cards unless specifically asked for on the tag. Many of those in need do not have transportation.
