Staff in Housekeeping, Laundry and Portering are participating in the 36 Hours of Christmas Cheer competition that’s happening on Acadia Broadcasting radio stations starting today, December 8, 2022.

The goal of this campaign is to collect as much funds as possible for Christmas Cheer; the money will go towards buying holiday hampers containing a weeks’ worth of groceries for next year’s hamper drive.

Housekeeping, Laundry and Portering staff have started collecting funds within their departments and would like to challenge other departments to participate as well.

The goal is to jointly contribute to the Christmas Cheer campaign from multiple departments to help families in need of food. Let’s show our community TBRHSC staff support this holiday season.

Any questions, please reach out to the Housekeeping Department at 684-6199 (office), 620-2995 (cell)
or in room #1565.
