A New Family Tradition 

The reunion committee would like to provide the family with an opportunity to “serve” our community by sponsoring the State Employees Credit Union Hospice House of Johnston Health. The Hospice house supports patients and their families; as patients live out their last days peacefully. They have asked us to help stock the Family Kitchen Pantry, which is used by “families who do not wish to leave their loved ones”. Please review the list of requested items provided by the Hospice House. We ask that you give generously. We want to bless this house and the families that utilize it. Please bring items from the attached list to the family reunion on Saturday, July 15th. If you prefer us to do the shopping for you, please bring and/or send donations to LaTonya Hinton via cash App with the tag $66JOD. Thank you in advance for your support.
