TOWNSHEND, Vt. – After Black Friday and Cyber Monday comes Giving Tuesday, a worldwide day of philanthropy during the season of gratitude. This year, Giving Tuesday falls on Dec. 2.
To aid in its longstanding commitment to providing exceptional care, Grace Cottage Family Health & Hospital is seeking Giving Tuesday donations to upgrade security in its emergency department. Upgrades include additional security cameras in key areas; shatterproof, impact-resistant glass and doors; and improved lockdown mechanisms for rapid response.
These improvements will not change the warm and welcoming atmosphere at Grace Cottage, but they will ensure greater protection for patients in their most vulnerable moments, and for the caregivers who dedicate their lives to helping the community.
Grace Cottage’s Giving Tuesday goal is $25,000. Any amount raised over expenses will go toward other emergency department needs. Gifts, no matter the size, will go directly toward these vital emergency department upgrades. Checks payable to Grace Cottage with “Giving Tuesday” on the memo line may be sent to P.O. Box 1, Townshend, VT 05353. For details on the equipment and more information, visit www.gracecottage.org/givingtuesday, or call 802-365-9109.
