Please consider a small donation to those in need at Laurel Hill convalescent home. A donation box has been set up in the Grants Pass JC Penney store, and a donation of slippers and/or a robe for the residents would help keep them warm and be greatly appreciated. Most of the residents have no family to visit them, little funds for extras, and are usually forgotten during the holiday season.
Thank you for your consideration.
