HCS Students to Play Santa for Hospital Kids; Community Members Can Too

Fri, Dec 16, 2011

Advocates, a public service organization for HCS students, is holding a drive for the Galisono Children's Hospital in Syracuse from now through Tuesday, and there still is time for members of the community to be involved.

Jessica Barnum, an HCS counselor and adviser to Adocates, said, "The holidays can be a difficult time for many families, and this is especially true for children who are hospitalized. Your donations can make a big difference for these children and their families."

She said the hospital needs items such as art supplies, new toys, bibs, rattles, DVD's, pajamas, books, board games and band aids. All items must be new, non-toxic, and non-Latex. Barnum said the hospital is especially in need of items for infants/toddlers and for teens. If anyone prefers to give a monetary donations, they are also welcome and checks should be made out to Upstate Golisano Children's Hospital.

There are collection boxes in the Counseling Office and the school's main office.
