Women’s group ‘adopts a hallway’
The women’s group at Evansville’s All Saints Parish recently participated in the “Adopt a Hallway Angel Program” at Columbia Healthcare Center, located just east of the parish’s St. Anthony Campus. The women’s group filled 20 Christmas gift bags for residents of the nursing home based on wish lists the residents provided. All Saints parishioners also donated an abundance of items, so the women’s group was able to fill 20 additional gift bags. In the photo, All Saints Women’s Group member Wilma Spaulding helps prepare the gift bags for distribution.
