Residents celebrated with a Christmas party on Friday at Hickory Manor in Licking. Santa Claus and his chief elf (Austin Diedrich and Maddy Rolen) attended courtesy of Three Rivers Hospice, and helped to hand out gifts to residents.
The facility fundraises and accepts gift donations for the residents’ Christmas gifts each year. In addition, South Central Correctional Center’s Restorative Justice Organization made teddy bears for everyone, and Sonshine & Rainbow Dayschool sent stockings. Lap blankets were also donated, and the VFW Auxiliary sent stockings for each veteran.
