Holly Twig is a group that raises money to purchase items which allows the patients to have improved quality stays while at Community Medical Center. Each department has an opportunity to submit a wish that they would like granted, which is not covered by the general operating budget. Some of the items we have contributed to the purchase of in the past have been vein finders, special reclining chairs that can be used for patients to rest in and also be transported in, warming blankets, as well as special chairs needed in one of the departments.
All of our members are volunteers who are part of a dedicated group who donate time and energy to a cause we are passionate about. This group is not for everyone; but for those who share our commitment, it is the most rewarding experience of a lifetime.
October 22, 2024, is Boscov’s annual Friends Helping Friends event. We are selling the Coupon which can be used in the store and online for the entire day. For most departments there is 20% off. The Coupon price is a $5 donation. This is a great time to do holiday shopping.
