The Meadows at Margaret Square Valentine's Day Drawing

On February 14th the Ross Program had a Valentine's Drawing for 2 baskets filled with household items, including laundry detergent, soap, towels, kitchen utensils and much more. Residents were asked to complete an interest survey for the Ross Program. All survey participants were entered into the drawing. There were 47 entries. Two grateful winners were chosen! The surveys were an effective way to generate interest in the Ross Program and residents received needed household items.

The ROSS Program

In the month of February, the Ross Program assisted 4 residents in obtaining furniture, 22 residents accessed the food pantry, and 7 residents received medical resources. We also assisted in handing out 60 prepared lunches. This was accomplished through our partnerships with The Mustard Seed, Second Harvest Food Bank, St. John Lutheran, Life Care Therapy and HPG.
