The holiday season is fast approaching and Southeast Missouri Mental Health Center employees are preparing to spread Christmas cheer to 300 patients who will be in the center.
Your help in providing some of this spirit, as in the past, is greatly appreciated. They are looking for organizations to help with parties, performances or another form of entertainment.
The community support for Operation Hand-In-Hand has allowed the health center to provide happy holiday memories for more than 40 years.
As in past years, they need gifts for men and women, 18 years of age and older. Many Christmas supporters prefer to send a check for staff to purchase gifts; others prefer to donate actual items. Either way is fine.
They combine purchased and donated items to make up individual gifts. Gift suggestions include slippers, flannel shirts, sweatshirts, T-shirts, winter caps, gloves, socks, stationary, and craft supplies.
If you prefer sending money, please make a check payable to Operation Hand-In-Hand and send to Operation Hand-In-Hand, Southeast Missouri Mental Health Center, 1010 West Columbia Street, Farmington, MO 63640.
If donations can be received by Dec. 1, it would help Santa and his elves in their preparation. They ask that gift items not be wrapped.

I wonder how many Sexual Predators that number included? I can see helping the mentally ill but a sexual predator; don't think so.
