Emporia, VA – No child should be without the basic essentials. Ready to help children in need, Southern Virginia Regional Medical Center (SVRMC) donated more than fifty boxes full of hygiene items, school supplies and toys to the Samaritan’s Purse: Operation Christmas Child.
Throughout September SVRMC staff participated in “Denim Day Fridays” by donating $5 or four items to the cause. All monetary donations were used to purchase items for donation. Spearheaded by SVRMC’s Quality Department, all the items were boxed for their journey to children around the world.
