Caring for our community is what we do! During Nurses and Hospital Week in May, our colleagues raised $1,344 through raffle ticket sales for the Cancer Care Center at St. Francis. The proceeds will be utilized to create comfort care packages for new and current Cancer Care Center patients.

We are thankful for the support of the following local business that partnered with us: Bank & Trust Company, Hyam Law Office, Jubelt's Restaurant & Bakery, Kismet Coffee Co., and Team Victory Lane.

Pictured are our raffle winners with their baskets. We also celebrated how lucky we are to have our colleagues with timeless collectible $2 bills donations from First National Bank of Litchfield.
