Staff at the Olympic Corrections Center responded to a request from Forks Community Hospital’s Long Term Care facility recently donating over 40 pounds of Halloween candy.
Staff at the nursing home had placed a notice in the Forks Forum informing the community that they were in need of assistance obtaining enough candy for their residents and staff to distribute to trick or treaters at the facility. “Many of our staff were surprised to learn that LTC receives many small visitors each Halloween,” said Darla DePew, OCC administrative assistant. “Everyone was happy to help.”
LTC staff were overwhelmed with the donations and felt that they would now have ample candy to pass out this year.
Each year LTC residents look forward to the costumed children passing though the facility and as a bonus parents and children have identified another safe place to visit.
